I downloaded it earlier today, and installed it. For me FF didn't crash, but Chrome crashed the first time it was opened.....that really impressed me a lot....NOT.

I messed around with it for a while, and I realize it's only Beta, but I'm not too impressed overall. I'll wait for something a little more refined to come along.

What I liked:

1) It imported my FF bookmarks perfectly.

2) It imported the few 'usernames' & 'passwords' that I have saved in FF.

What I didn't like:

1) It doesn't have an ad-blocker.....did y'all know that the E-R Forum has ads? In FF with 'Ad Block Plus', I never see ads...anywhere!

2) I went to a website that I use daily, that has a Java app in it.....it offers up "No Plug-in Available"......and I don't feel like messing with trying to get Java working in another browser. My success with installing Java has been hit & miss.....probably just me....but that's reason enough for me.

3) And like BigMoney Jim stated, "The "close tab" X click targets are too small. That is annoying..."

So, until and/or unless I find a REAL reason to try Chrome again.....I'll stick with my old 'tried & true' FF3.....it works well....it works the way I like it to.....which is the REAL reason I use it.
