anyone using it?

its free, simple, and seems to load quicker than firefox. that's about all i've figured out so far. it does use more of your screen for the actual webpage though.

i've been using it for a couple weeks now, i think since the first day of its full release. i don't think i like it anymore than firefox 3, but i also don't like it any less. i like the start page, and i like the lack of a top task bar. the pop up blocker is as annoying as FF. overall it's almost like firefox "lite". the same basic idea as firefox, just a little sleeker and slimmed down.

 
For you real geeks out there, Chrome treats each tab as an entirely separate process! This means that if tab A hangs because of a bad applet or whatnot, your entire browsing session doesn't DIAF.

And there's the whole "faster to load/display/everything else" thing, which is also good.

Still, I find myself opening Firefox about 25% of the time...for me, the program's icon doesn't yet equate with web browsing.

i made it my default and erased my FF shortcuts just so i would give it enough time to try it. i'm still using it so it must have worked.
