    I'm running it right now. Seems pretty slick and stable for a beta. It does display these forums a little oddly, and it's telling websites that it's Apple's Safari for some strange reason. But I kinda like it. It ain't gonna replace Firefox anytime soon, but it's a neat alternative.

    Thumbs up Re: Google "Chrome" Enters Browser Wars

    Agreed, I just downloaded and have started testing it on sites that take awhile to download... Eve Online is noticeably faster.

    I'm posting this from Chrome.

    Open source Firefox and Chrome... could lead to some interesting developments.

    It crashed for me, during install. Not a great first impression.

    It doesn't work at all, after installing it says it will start in a few seconds, which it doesn't. Program is nowhere to be found either.

    it works yay, good stuff it's very fast

    Wired has a lengthy piece on Chrome, and 'cause it's Wired, there's lots of hyperventilating. That's how they roll, yo.

    I have never used any other web browser than the good old integrated Internet Explorer, so I really don't know what plus points do other browsers offer over it , but I'll be glad if someone could enumerate the advantages for me........?
