i haven't really heard anything about this Google Chrome, someone enlighten me?

It's a webkit (rendering engine designed by Apple) web browser that has some significant Javascript optimizations to improve speed. Its significantly touted feature is that each tab runs in a separate thread so if you're doing something in one tab that misbehaves, you can simply close that tab instead of it crashing your whole browser. This also leads to memory efficiency.

It's still in beta at the moment, and doesn't yet have a Mac or Linux build.
