I am using it right now. Not bad. Loads pages noticeably faster than Internet Explorer 7. Very sparse interface which you would expect from Google.

I avoid anything google whenever possible for several reasons, one of which being that Al Gore is a "Senior Adviser" to the company.

It is very very quick. It currently parses Javascript faster than any browser. There's a Firefox plugin coming out that will make it faster than chrome. I was impressed though. Google just signed an extension for another 3 years with FireFox, but I don't think it'll go beyond that

On second look it is almost too sparse.

Favorites seem less than conveinient to find

FireFox came out with their latest beta before 3.1 official release which matches if not beats chrome's speed. So far, it's a very stable beta release.

Chrome is so loaded with information gathering software that I uninstalled it and downloaded the open source file so that I can weed out unwanted files, tricky EULA's, and maybe change the UI a bit.
