gmail task, google chrome

merrie says:

Google Chrome has the slick ability to turn any page or site into its own application, similar to Fluid on Mac OS X. With Chrome, we can turn Tasks into a standalone app with just a few clicks. I find it handy to have my to-do list separate so I don’t get distracted with e-mail or Google Chat while I’m working.

More about Gmail Tasks.

Get Google Chrome.

I like Opera and Chrome, but unless they ever come out with all those extensions I love so much, I don't ever see me making the switch away from Firefox.

I like Opera and Chrome
I used Opera a few years ago and it's loaded with some
great features, but Chrome is great for "web-surfing" b/c
is so fast and light. So I guess it may be self-defeating to
load it up with extensions and add-ons. (except Clipmarks)

I applied for an invite for a Wave download, but I think the invites will go to developers first.
