Hey I'm using it. Probably isn't much better than firefox but I've got all my favorites on it now so I'm keeping it. Not bad overall, pretty quick

Yeah not bad overall. I've been using it for a bit, I switch between it and firefox. Not a bad entry into the market really, as good as it is, its limited compared to Firefox. But in time it will be something.

Using it now, lightning quick. Worthy of at least a test drive.

I love it!
I was always a fan of Firefox (and still have as backup) but Chrome is so much better. It's incredibly fast to start up, everything runs smoothly, it's supposed to be more safe and I just love the first screen with most visited sites as big thumbnails, and more... Two thumbs up!

Highly recommend it , extremely fast and the keyboard shortcuts are great. I also love that you can drag a tab out and make it a separate window.

Am I the only one who thinks it's slower and often doesn't connect to the URL?
I think it's easier to use than IE (hardly an improvement) but I find I always get time out errors!

I have been using it, its great the only downside is that if you accidentally close your browser with downloads running it cancels the downloads :( Apart from that its quick and easy to use.

I always used Firefox till version 3, now its too bloated and slow. Now I use Chrome almost exclusively. Chrome does have the occasional freezup when dealing with poorly coded flash type websites. That why (and also for those annoying asp sites) i have IE as a fallback
