Its the google web browser... And I have to say it works well.

I dont like the new firefox, IE7 is OK, but this is pretty good!

Yeah, I am torn now between Firefox 2 and Chrome....I agree IE7 is ok but I don't want to use it.

I might take the plunge and use Chrome exclusively sometime soon, maybe it manages resources better, thats my main complaint about firefox.

Google’s shiny new Web browser is vulnerable to a carpet-bombing vulnerability that could expose Windows users to malicious hacker attacks

Its quite promising and runs way faster and looks far better than IE or FF but I would let it hang around for few more months to see Google's commitment before making it as my de-facto browser.

I myself will remain a die hard Opera browser fan.

Since only 4ish percent of computer users are Apple Victims.....why bother releasing for mac?

I thought Apple users like going on Safaris?

Aside from resource conservation chrome does a much better job at tab handling that FF3 could dream of.

That was my primary concern with switching over to it....FireFox is a major resource hog, especially when you like to keep 8-10 browsers open all the time.
