Just downloaded Chrome earlier, and I must say I like it.

I'm sure the missing middle mouse button click is a beta quirk, and I haven't noticed anything else I don't like besides that.

It has a leet new tab page, as well as, of course, really nice load speeds.

Reminds me of this dell fiasco.

Using chrome on XP right now, and it is much, much faster than Firefox. True, the multiprocessing eats more RAM (60M/2048M with just one tab), but I like it so far. I never used many browser features, so it's nice. The only thing I miss from Firefox is being able to manage cookie setting on a case-by-case basis.

I've tried it. It's very nice with good concepts on the way. I think I'll wait until they smoothen out everything before actually using it all the time.

I like it, it's way faster, by far. But I do not think it's ready for competing with FF in terms of customization.

Chrome has been remarkably slow for me whenever caching a page.

Chrome uses webkit, so it will display/resample resized images and will look better, but load slower (resulting in terrible animated gif playback.)

I also think it's slower in most of the speed tests when compared to opera/firefox, but REALLY people, speed doesn't matter unless you're ray tracing. 300 ms is no time at all when loading a web page.

It's way faster. 1 Downside, and 2 Questions.

Can give it StumbleUpon? Can I give it Ad Block Plus?

Watching videos at current.com(Romney RNC address) with it sucks. Skipped so much I had to make sure my modem had a cable jack in it and not a phone line. I wonder if the laggy video playback is just me though.

It doesn't save history, cookies, passwords, any sort of information.
