Google has given birth to a new browser. Add Chrome to your list of web browsing choices.

Visit Google maps and search for San Francisco. Click on the Street View button in the upper right. Move the little Google Person around on the blue streets and watch the view change.
Click in the street view and drag to rotate. Click an arrow to move N/S/E/W.
