Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests

    The speed advantage of the nightly web kits is caused not by the fact that they're newer than chrome's rendering engine, but by the fact that they don't use Google's V8 javascript engine. Instead, they use the much faster (and also more correct) SquirrelFish Extreme engine.

    Well you can use it anyway... There is a crossover version for both Mac and Linux, you can build your own version for both Mac and Linux, and there's a recent Mac build here. I'm sure there are lots of other builds available as well.
