Yeah, I really like the bare-bones appearance of it. Very snappy.

I downloaded it, but I haven't really used it.  It's just a habit to open firefox when I want to use the interent, and I don't even think about clicking chrome instead.

Lol! Yeah, like forever. :P

I will probably check out Google Chrome when it is available for Macs.

Depends. If you want a simple + fast browser, thats what it is. If you need features from add-ons, web development tools, and things along that line, you shouldn't switch.

So has anyone used it all week yet? What is the assessment for Chrome?  Good or suck-ass?

That is my experience as well. Otherwise, it's pretty sound.

It's ridiculously faster with Javascripts, which could make it the platform to beat for cloud computing and such in the future.

As a web browser, it's no faster or slower than FireFox, discernibly.

Some flash sites like Gametrailers bring my system to a crawl when browsing via Chrome. Otherwise I like it.

I haven't experienced any slow downs or anything faster than FireFox... so I guess I like Chrome because of it's awesome name and clean look! It looks more modern than the other browsers.

No, but Google Chrome has potential though. I'm not currently using it now (Mozilla Firefox 3), but I have it on my quick launch bar. Internet Explorer 8 is another nice web browser, Microsoft has done wonders with this one.

I have not downloaded it yet, but I will get around to it eventually. From the looks of it, it looks like an okay browser, I probably won't use it often, though.

I like chrome a lot, it's still in beta but it runs all the sites I go to faster than Fire Fox does. The only thing I don't like is how it shows recently viewed links and most visited sites on the start up window... Thats a total no no if you go to the sites I go to.

Click the page button up the top next to the wrench and click on start new incognito tab.  This acts just like a normal tab but it doesnt save your history or cookies, means nothing will show up on the home page then.
Thats awesome but my favorite thing is when sites crash it doesn't totally close all windows and tabs and lose everything your doing but only the tab that crashes crashes.  A task manager for a web browser is a great idea.  It seems like its got a lot of great features I never knew I wanted and that I'll use a lot, and damn this thing is fast compared to firefox.  I wonder how long it'll be until google releases an OS, seems like a matter of time really.

I know about the incognito mode, but I would prefer to have an option to just turn off history and that feature.

The main thing that's been pissing me off is the problems it has with flash.

I really like it. Flash doesn't run as well as it does in Firefox, though, but not having every page close when one tab crashes is pretty convenient. I like the interface as well.

It's kind of weird how little I really needed all those Firefox add-ons that I just had to have.
