Do we really need another browser, with so many already on the market?

DSL Reports had an article on this as well this morning. I'll be checking out this browser sometime soon to see how it holds up against Firefox. The sandbox mode on tabs sure sounds interesting since I have crashed out Firefox with some websites.

Sounds like IE8 on Vista. It has protected mode, plus if the website in a tab has an eppie, you can close it without killing the entire browser. And a lot of the time, it'll recover the tab too. Unless it's a repeat offender, then you'll be wanting to hit stop a load of times.

I haven't Beta Tested IE8 yet so I didn't know that

I'll stick with Firefox for a while. I've never been one to jump at every new thing that comes out. I haven't even switched to Firefox 3 yet, because my favorite skin isn't compatible with it yet. (Brushed Metal)

I'm still sticking to Firefox primarily because of addons. I'm using Chrome right now as I type this message, and it would be great with Adblock Plus and Mouse Gestures. I just dislike the light blue window toolbar with the Windows Vista buttons.. doesn't look good on an XP system that has third party themes installed.

Chrome does feel really fast!

... But does IE8 do one of those when a tab crashes?

In all seriousness though, I see no harm in another browser hitting the internet. As a matter of fact, one could even argue that the greater the number of browsers with a significant market share, the more developers are discouraged from using browser-specific quirks. This in turn could cause the makers of these browsers to put more effort into supporting these standards. After all, just look at Internet Explorer - it's made quite a lot of headway in the standards department since Firefox became a formidable foe.
