Looks too cartoony for my taste, and I got really used to Firefox 3.0 and it’s features and extensions, so it’s hard for me to change. Besides Chrome doesn’t run on Ubuntu.

I love it.
It load so fast, unbeleivable.
Yes, it’s still need to be refined.
Isn’t it beta, though.
Let’s give some time and it will become the new top browser!

@Ashley:

“Does that get to be a hassle, switching between two browsers?”

Not really. I have both browsers open at once, so the only thing I have to do is click the browser’s link on the Task Bar and switch from one browser to the other. Piece of cake.

Plus I’m not a real heavy computer user. I do it just for fun as a hobby. That’s one of the advantages of being retired. Next January I’ll be back in college, but that’s another story.

For many, that squirrel is faster than the fox though! Until Firefox 3.1 launches anyways... :)

Wow, if I recall correctly, weren't you a big Firefox fan?

i use it as my primary browser for two reasons – the first being i use a reeeeeallly ooooollllld ibm thinkpad (pentium II-397Mhz)and secondly, when i upgraded to firefox 3, it crashed every five minutes.
chrome will be GREAT once it’s compatible with flash/shockwave.

I use it as my primary web app browser (Gmail, Google Reader, Remember the Milk, etc) and as my default browser in Windows due to its speed in loading from scratch. However, my heavy-use, research and work browsers (I work as a webmaster) are two separate profiles of Firefox, each heavily customized with the appropriate extensions.

Chrome is nice but it reminded me that the web is so full of ads. While I can live with the text ads or some pictures, AdBlock is a must have when some of my prefered sites use “mouse-over” video with sound. The day there is an adblock addon available, I’ll start using Chrome.

I don’t really like it. The options are so paltry and limited that it just feels like a child’s browser to me.
