I think I might try it. I like the fact that if a site crashes, only that tab crashes. I've been having problems with my browser (Internet Explorer) doing that. I have about 5 tabs open, one crashes, and then I lose all my work on the non-crashed tabs. :hulk:
I'm using it right now, 'cause I'm at work, my boss asked us to get familiar with it in case customers ask about it (I do technical support) and I jumped at the chance to put something other than IE on this computer.
It's kinda neat, but I don't see myself giving up Firefox for it.
I like it. For some reason we're not allowed to have other browsers besides IE at work, so I've got it up and running on my home computer. I had just downloaded Firefox 3 the other day, and I found myself not liking it as much. Just little esthetic things bothered me, it's kind of hard to describe.
I like how you can toggle the tabs around in Chrome though. Can you do that in Firefox 3? I never tried, and I only got it earlier this week.
I'm in the same boat. The comic got me all hyped up about the crazy promises, but I'm not gonna boot into Windows just for a fancy browser.
Speaking of which, why has no one mentioned the comic? I thought this forum was full of rabid Scott McCloud fanatics! I'm not one of them, but I still thought it was slick marketing on Google's part, and the comic presents its case well.
You probably shouldn't write off a public beta of a browser because it lacks Firefox-style plugins and Opera-style customizability. These things will come in time!
Well, I do have it have it installed at work. Granted it's one of six browsers, but it's it's one of the two that I have that isn't specifically there for the sake of compatibility testing. I haven't written it off, it's just got quite a distance to go before it can really compete. On the plus side it's going in the right direction.

So I'll say it all in one word.
Opera.
With that, here is an article.
Read the comments.
I may add more later.

Well, it seems okay to me, nice and clean, a bit like Safari for Windows, except more blue.

I need my del.icio.us bookmarks and greasemonkey.
There are some interesting looking developer tools in it they don't talk about but I mostly work with flash stuff and they don't really help me.
