Can't take chrome seriously till they release a MAC / Linux / Solaris version.

that's right google stab someone else in the back. first yahoo and firefox. They already have their own os so apple is next. they keep convincing everyone they are in it with them against microsoft and they stick it to them. when will everyone realize they don't want to stop microsoft they want to be microsoft. Now the browser is ok kind of fast but feature light. IE7 is still the best browser with opera a close second.

A bit of sound advice:

Please don't try the beta en masse since I got loads of viruses, worms and trojans all courtesy of CHROME.

Chrome is a decent attempt and I understand its still beta. I do hate that Ctrl+ to increase size, does only a frame zoom. IE and Firefox the readable frame increases in size and the border gets smaller like for instance the CNN site. But in Chrome the basic frame+ border maintains dimensions, the font is the only thing that increases which results in longer pages. Also there is no spell check, something that is really needed while blogging or emailing.

If it's anything like Gmail with all those search items/ads on the page, no thanks. It will be interesting how Chrome develops, however. I'll may revisit when Chrome 2.0 hits.

One thing no one talks about is that there's a site, customizegoogle.com, that can rid searches of Google ads. Of course, it doesn't work in G-Chrome.

Just think if people used the ad-free feature – Google's revenue could go from billions to zero overnight.

So, Google had to take control of the browser experience. Zero revenue would not be a pretty picture for a company valued at $160 billion.

I like its simple look, something firefox is not and its fast. Default browser when it hits OS X.

Chrome sounds shiney, reminds me of rims… Have you ever seen a Chevy with the butterfly doors?
