Just started using it myself. I thought that candy blue would annoy me, but the minimalist ui is brilliant. Full screen on win vista, it doesn't even look like a browser at first glance.
No menu toolbar.
No title bar.
Thumb nailed favorites.
Web-app shortcuts (tried with gmail pretty nifty, but not much use yet)
Oh and like its been mentioned, its running javascript like a champ...aka its f*kin' fast!
If they can get some sort of Firefox like extension support going, I can see quite a few people moving over.
Javascript benchmark results: Chrome is 1.75 times faster than firefox.
For non-geeks: Almost all your favorite websites extensively use javascript. |

I like the old version better....this new one is getting on my nerves! |
the only thing i hate about firefox3 is that there's a memory leak with the program. after browsing for an hour i look in task manager (xp) and it's eating up almost 400mb. i have to manually close the program and end the firefox.exe process to bring my system back to normal. anybody else notice this? |

Its a hell of alot faster than FF...
Even the page scrolling on the touch pad is fast...too fast...
I'll give it a week...
It's kinda weird... |

I don't want to jump the gun on this one... but i think im in love!!!
Browsers should be completely different than what the are now, this is def the right progression. Some technical work is still needed and i guess... MORE personalization/extensions like on Firefox would be nice too ;) |

I like how you can set the browser options/preferences to opening multiple pages on start-up.
I open my browser and whoosh! My university portal, hotmail, TA, facebook, etc. all open up as separate tabs. |

i love how the browser completely maximizes your desktop space
1. useless 'windows' title bar..replaced with tab bar
2. status bar only shows up when 'thinking'
3. all my firefox icon hotbuttons easily transferred over
= 15% more desktop browsing pixels |
