What do you think of it? Personally, I think it's not bad for a beta browser, quite compact and efficient. However, it's missing features from Firefox that I've learned to get used to.

For those that don't know, Google Chrome is the new browser recently released by Google.

I don't think I'm going to get it, google aren't known for respecting privacy so I'm not to sure about letting their browser store my details, call me paranoid but I just don't have the confidence in them to use their browser

Also firefox is fine for me so I have no reason to need to try it

Its better and EASIER than fire fox,and you dont have to do the updates,it does em while the computer is off,and it comes with windows so you dont have to download it,and its the browser used by the ps3.

I admit Firefox is better, but I normally use IE as my favourites/history are all on here, plus it's the default browser and I can never seem to change it (Vista sucks like that sometimes)

IE is a haven for activeX exploits, and is horribly bloated. Oh, and it looks armadilloe.
