They had it before Chrome did, it was in beta 1. No one uses IE that knows better, so no one knew about it till Chrome came out. Then they tested other browser's and then thats when people found out about it. I wonder why Microsoft didn't talk about this, would of been a big thing for them.

If each tab has its own process then that means more stress on the CPU. Older PCs may struggle with it.

I am sure many people think that software such as Vista already causes enough stress (CPU and otherwise) as it is :)

Take care.

If they push out a Mac version, I'm sure it would be smooth sailing

Sticking with Firefox for now. The Google Chrome UI feels kinda cheap to me.

Also, addons certainly are a big plus *cough* Adblock *cough*.

If Chrome added addons, an adblocker, and changed that ocean interface, I'd use it more.

Oh and it would also need to support RoboForm

I hope that it doesn't happen. I stress my CPU enough on my own. I think it would be an intelligent choice for the FF people not to do this. I haven't tried chrome because, there isn't a Linux version yet. I can imagine that the "own process" you speak of will be enough to cause me not to like it. I have open atm, 2 browsers,( FF and Opera) and occasionally, Seamonkey too, a file broswser, 3 terminals( 1 running screen for an effective 6 terminals), bluefish, and a time tracker. All this costs at 10 - 20% CPU usage. I don't need Google taking CPU cycles by it's own choice.

I'd say I wouldn't have a choice. If IE/Chrome already does it, it's only a matter of time before Firefox/Opera get on the bandwagon. I love FF, and have been happy with it for nearly two years now, so I'll be sticking with it for a while.

Yes! It'd be great if Mozilla added that to FF.
