Who else has this brand new web browser? I honestly like it more than FireFox3. It's minimalistic and completely based around tabs. It also combines the address bar and search bar into one unit.

the only thing it lacks are custom addons like in FF. And it does need a better spell check.

That sucks. I don't know what to do, but have you tried reading on Google's chrome page?

Yeah. I'm waiting for the non-beta. It will be even better.

I'll always use FF too. It has some features that just can't be bested.

I don't reckon I'll switch...I'm too hooked on Firefox...

I thought Mozilla and Google were on the same par...like same company...

Google is giving money to mozilla, because firefox has google as main page or something like that. But they're different companies

Anyways chrome nice, fast, simple and I was surprised that it scored 79/100 on acid 3 test.

If you're curious:
Acid 3 test
http://acid3.acidtests.org/
IE7 - 12/100
FF 3.0.1 - 71/100
Opera 9.52 - 84/100
Chrome - 79/100

I don't have other browsers installed right now...
