so far the browser is not bad. They made it so you see little of the actual browser. I do not like that they do not have a like a quick link bar like firefox has. I really liked that about firefox. It is very simple and they have a lot of stuff hidden. But then again that is the google way. I will use it off and on but I think I will still stick with firefox till google chrome gets a little bit more 'developed'.

kinda feel the loser here is gonna be firefox.
anyone with windows not using firefox is too dumb (yeah scott ) (or content) to use anything other than IE, and anyone who uses firefox is open to try newer and better things and is likely to test out chrome.

I mean so far it seems like a nice browser but it just does not have some of the features that I like that FF has. so I will keep chrome installed but probably stick to ff for a bit.

I hope it doesn`t get popular. Then I will have to test CSS and JS on yet another browser.

I'll be using Chrome for a little bit, but like you guys I'll most likely stick with FF.

This could shape up to being one of my favorite browsers. I don't mind simple things (IE Rocks, BTW) and this is way faster then FF. It rivals IE on my machine for speed.

I'm not sure what VooDoo means by more features though... Google Crome looks a little basic to me. There are not many things I can change about it.
