Is anyone else using this browser? Seems like it's somewhat on steriods. Oh Yeah!!!

Yup - it runs great. Only issue is that some websites that are optimized for different browers will not recognize it and will not display some content. I then have to fire up IE - it just makes me realize how well Chrome works.

i use firefox and never use IE anymore except for those sites that will not use any other browsers (losers). I tried Chrome when it first came out and was not overly impressed plus the fact that Google captures all the activity in the browser.

Chrome is amazing especialy when your using a clients computer and you dont wanna leave any foorprints they have the incognito window, dosent leave any trace cookie etc.

Chrome is a great alternative. When it was first released, Google said their motivation was to push innovation in the browser market, as opposed to really go up against FF & IE, which they are doing. Both of the other browsers will be releasing their versions of the "Incognito Window" soon enough.

Chrome has some other great innovations - the ability to make Web based apps look and feel like applications, as opposed to something running in a browser window. Its fast and secure.

Also, stability was another great innovation. Instead of one tab or window crashing the entire program, it just crashed that tab - you dont lose your other browsing tabs/windows. That is a biggie for some of us who tend to run multiple tabs (counting 6 open in my browser at this moment!)

I dont think it is 100% ready to take away all the FF & IE users out there, but its better in some forms. For me, the lack of extensions is a biggie - I use a lot of those in FF. And I love my themes, something else missing from Chrome. But it is very powerful in other respects and over time may even take over my use of FF as the preferred browser.
