Stainless is a multi-process browser inspired by Google Chrome.
Each tab runs in a separate process, which means:
* Increased performance. Slow page loads (esp. due to plugins) can't affect the responsiveness of the browser, or of pages in other tabs.
* Increased stability. Crashed pages can't bring down the browser.
* Decreased memory usage. Once a tab is closed, the memory for that session is completely freed to the system.Like Chrome, Stainless also has tabs that can be dragged between windows, a unified address and search bar, and a private browsing mode.

I love this browser! Not feature rich, but makes up for it in speed.
This is a great application, not ready for me to switch yet, however very promising. It is a very cut down built to model Google's Chrome for OS X using webkit.
It's pure folly to recommend this as a usable or friendly browser at the moment. While it does incorporate the separate process tabs and privacy mode, it does not include any of the typical features you would expect in a web browser. There is no bookmark management, no source code viewer, no download manager, etc. However, this software is VERY promising. I hope the developers will continue their excellent work and produce a full-functioning browser. For now, as they even admit, this is just a tech demo. Anyone saying otherwise has not fully explored the current release.
