Currently testing it out....it's quick! I have yet to use the incognito mode but will soon.

Liverpool 4 - 1 Man Utd + playing at Old Trafford + all the tension + beer = A very happy Reds fan 🙂
Yeah, I noticed that feature. Haven't d/led it yet though, plus it's only the beta version. I'll see what other people'll say. 😮

From what I've seen (very little).... I find it rather well thought out in terms of technical architecture and design. Seems different from how Firefox does things, though.
It seems Google is using it's own theme for window borders and buttons...etc.... kinda like Safari, which puts me off a bit.... but it's understandable considering how hard it must be to implement and optimize a modular Chrome user interface that adapts to each OS's look and feel.
At the moment... it seems like Google is bent on eating IE's market share rather than Firefox's.... at least that's the impression I'm getting from some of the PR talk.... still early days and a lot more work to do, though.
Not tried out incognito mode either.... seems like a fancy name for "porn-mode"... heh,... just kidding.... no bashing please. 😳
Point & Squirt
I'll soon get infested by all kinds of google
bots, earths, toolbars and who knows what
junk, so I won't even need it.
Its quick and practical. I just need to see if its compatible with other websites on stuff on my comp. If so then Ima trash firefox 3. That things a mild pain in the ass.

Fast and slick. Very clean/minimal interface too. If this browser starts supporting adblocking programs then I'll make it my primary browser.

Very interesting...
Only bad thing right now: It broke the layout for the admin stuff for MU, but none of you care about that, haha

I noticed it tends to scroll a bit further than most browsers, but thats probably a setting that I can change, I hope anyways. Its nice though.

I like Firefox better. It could be because I'm used to it. Speed's the same between the two for me.

I like it... fast, I like how each tab/window has it's own process so if anything goes wrong you will only lose a tab/window, dl/history open in tabs as opposed to new windows, the position of the tab bar... but I won't be using it.
I need of adblock, noscript, to make the web bearable. Also can't find a good way to edit/move/delete bookmarks, doesn't seem very customizable yet either. But I definetly thinks it shows promise...

The pages load very fast, and the tabs being at the top of the screen kind of seem better. As stated before, it's very minimalist, so even on a computer like mine (with low-specs), the browsing can be more enjoyable.

Eh, Its decent. Someone said this before, but seeing as though it is google they will probably add a bunch of useless things to it soon enough. I think that it has promise, but its still beta so you never know. It could go in either direction. Once it becomes more set up, like IE or Firefox, it could be pretty good.

it's fast
but i don't like how un-customisible it is
and the new tabs feel cluttered

I dont think they will add anything to it that isnt useful. It is google, but thats exactly why. While google tends to do a lot of stuff for profit they do a lot that is just meant to further the development of the internet as well. Plus a browser that by default makes people use google as the search engine is going to get you enough business. The entire purpose of all the google like the toolbars is to get you to use the google web page and generate revenue for them by seeing and clicking on their ads.
It would be foolish for google to isolate any group from its browser, so it is probably going to be very customizable when it is finally releases, after all this is still the beta testing. For the most part they want to get all the problems with the engine worked out, then they can start adding a lot of cool stuff.

Hmmm, Google Chrome crashed on me 3-4 separate occasions now. I don't even know why it crashed the last time, since I was away from my computer for 4 hours, and I come back and the whole thing had crashed...
Edit: It JUST crashed on me again. I think it was because of Facebook this time...And unfortunately, everything crashed, not just a single tab
🙁
