Seems like a pretty good browser - I haven't used it much yet, but by all accounts things are promising.
I've been using Firefox pretty steadily, and things have improved with their version 3 release. With the extensions I've added, and regularly use, I don't see a need to switch, although I'm certain Chrome has a similar extensible structure.

I've been using Chrome as a main browser for more than 8 months. It has been my primary browser for about 6 months at least. I just love it (especially now that it is out of beta and a lot of bugs have been ironed out). It has a number of advantages over other browsers but the main thing is it's clean, FAST, and has a very useful interface.

You can drag tabs around in and out of windows ... every tab is it's own process so usually one crashing due to a bad plugin or some strange javascript will not cause the whole browser to crash. But main thing is that it is very small, clean and did I say FAST?

There are still a few issues to keep in mind however:

1. There is no google toolbar support (yah, strangely enough!). So this means your google bookmarks aren't as easily available like they would be in IE or firefox. I use those all the time.

2. There is no fire-fox like plug-in support yet so if you rely heavily on firefox plug-ins (like ad blockers), you may want to try Chrome a bit before doing a full switch.

3. No Mac or linux version yet but they are rapidly working on it.

If you haven't tried Chrome, try it for a bit. You might end up liking it a lot. For google stuff (like gmail, google calendar, google docs, etc) it works very well.

Check out this Javascript speed test from back in September with a very early beta of Chrome. The difference is very significant.

You can drag tabs around in Safari as well (if we're talking about the same thing) and it's fast (at least to my satisfaction). I might try Chrome when it's out for Mac, but for now I'm very happy with Safari..

The main issue for me right is #2 from Sip's post above.
I have about 3-4 extensions I use daily - and my comfort level would take a hit if I were to use them. The best thing is, the extensions are available on both platforms I use, so my browser profile is the same over multiple machines. I'm certain Chrome's gonna get there - but not yet for me anyway.

And this is all true - all safari needs is FF style extensions.

So it's not in beta mode anymore? I might try it out, even though I'm far too used to Firefox. Sip, a single tab or page closing rather than the entire browser is a major improvement, since it's one thing that bugs me about FF.

I don't know if Chrome is going to have the Google toolbar. Doesn't Google have some sort of deal with Firefox and IE?

When you press ctrl-B, the bookmark bar will appear or disappear.
Next to the address bar where you type searches or web addresses, there are two buttons. One looks like a sheet of paper the other looks like a wrench. They get you pretty much all the options (like menus).

Shitf-ESC will bring up the chrome task manager. Here you can stop individual plug-ins or kill individual tabs.

You can also type these in the address bar:

Here are some cool things to try on chrome ... type:

about:memory
about:stats
about:network
about:internets
about:histograms
about:dns
about:cache
about:plugins
about:version

(about:internets is a joke )

Yah it went out of beta just recently (a couple weeks?). It may still crash once in a while but not any worse than IE or firefox. For me it is runing very solid. There were some flash plug-in problems with videos being choppy or freezing but most of that seems to have been worked out so make sure you have latest versions of flash and java.

As far as a deal, I doubt Google would have any deals with IE but Google has traditionally been very supportive of firefox. Now the relationship is a bit "complicated" according to firefox but they are still quite friendly it seems. You have to keep in mind Google doesn't care much about making profit from the browser ... Google's goal is to have it's own stuff which pretty much entirely run in a browser to run fast, stable, and make the people want to use them (like gmail, calendar, docs, maps, earth, chat, social networking, etc etc).

Windows 7 is coming ... just give it another year or so and hopefully we'll never have to hear of Vista again (even though it seems like it's a pretty good operating system -- I've not used it yet).

OSX has been around for eight years now and still running very well..

Okay, I'm done!
