However I am going to run this on my aspire one. It's nippy and perfect for a netbook. This is being developed with an eye for the android platform obviously. If google wanted to save me some hassle they could make google reader not load 300 items in a feed when I'm in expanded view and only the ones above and beneath. I opened an very large image feed with firefox in realtime priority and it fell over. Agh.

Cause the beta is lightning fast, and although it needs some improvement, I don't like bloated browsers.

Chrome reminds me too much of the homonym 'crone', which for younger readers means `old hag'. How about the more literate `Chromium’?

You're right, Chrome is pretty good for a first effort (considering it is still in beta), and it is fast, but they are going to need to provide a few more customizations before it really takes off.

How about EarthBadger? Or AirSwift? Or if you're a particular fan of Captain Planet, you could even use HeartOstrich. Hang on, I'm beginning to sound a bit like the next version of Ubuntu. :b AirWolf is a super-sonic helicopter from the 80s, so that might cause confusion. How about EarthBadger? Or AirSwift?
