it's a lot faster, your browser is bigger cause there is a lot less clutter and it's cool how your most viewed sites are right there when you open your browser. I love it.

Ehhh, I think it's about the same as firefox 3.0. The cool thing to me is if you're reading a large document and use the search function, the sidebar that you use to scroll with has little yellow lines on the side telling you were words are, so you don't have to keep clicking "next". Other than that, I'll be sticking with firefox

i have mixed feelings on it so far, but for launch its pretty good. i haven't tested it out too much yet though. the tabs being at the top kind of annoys me since in IE and FF they're below the address bar. probably just takes some getting used to.

It took me a couple hours to get used to as well. My immediate reaction was that I didn't feel comfortable with it, but after a couple hours I was loving it.

What's the footprint like on this?

It's alright. I like the fact that it is faster and doesn't crash as often as firefox. Been using it since the day it was released

Yuck... I'm using it now. It seems a little faster than firefox. BUT... it's missing my all-time favorite thing. That little search box at the top. I have so many search engines in there and it made my life so much easier. I really don't think I could use Chrome much longer simply because it's missing that.

The address bar works as a search bar too

Not like Firefox. In FF, I could just click up top and search in google, amazon, ebay , wikipedia, google images, dictionary.com, baseball reference... all without actually going to those websites first. That really is the best feature of Firefox and I feel like a lot of people don't use it to it's full potential.

the incognito function is pretty cool.
