Who's using it?

What do ya think of it?

Personally, I haven't tried it yet and I'm holding off.

So far it seems to be much less of a memory hog than any other browers I've used. However, it lacks many of the features and the plethora of add-ons that I've become a fan of.

But for quick, no-mess browsing - it's quick.

I tried it. Found out it didn't really provide anything I didn't already have ... in fact didn't include a lot of things I use. Uninstalled.

May be try it again when it's grown up some more. Maybe.

Haven't really tried it, not really motivated to. Nonetheless, even if it never makes mainstream it might hopefully serve as a good demo of new technologies...

Google Chrome has too many security holes yet and it hasn't been out long enough to fix the things like passwords in text form that are unencypted in a text file.

Google Chrome is discussed there: Episode #161 for September 11, 2008

I tried it... ONLY thing I liked about it was the drag a Browser Tab to somewhere outside of the Google Chrome Window that will launch a new copy of the browser and dragging it back will make it run in the Google Chrome window where it came from in the first place.

Other than that I was not impressed with Google Chrome.

At least Google Chrome is based on the Mozilla Firefox engine!

My Internet Browser has been Firefox for a long time.

Chrome isn't running on Gecko, it runs on webkit (not the firefox engine).
