I’m downloading it.

No, you don’t. It’s fast (sepcifically, javascript rendering is lightning fast, and the browser will perform exceptionally on this site’s GDTs), but sites DON’T look better through the browser. It doesn’t AA text (AA, or Anti-Aliasing, makes text look smooth. Without this, text looks jagged, especially at higher resolutions). There are still stability issues that have to be worked out as well and it can be more efficient with memory and processes.

Also, everything Orlando Rays said, though it does not sound as dire and imposing as it looks if you use other Google Products.

I don’t know how many times this can be stated, this is a BETA product. It’s far from finished, and in this case, it’s far from ready to replace Opera, Firefox, or even IE. I won’t encourage anyone from using it, but I also won’t hesitate to correct anyone who thinks that Chrome is the best thing since sliced bread. This product is not ready for prime-time yet.

In fact, I’m typing this message on it right now. The ad-ons make Firefox a superior product, however, so until Chrome has the depth of features that FF 3 has, I will continue to make Firefox my primary browser. But no doubt, it it does speed things along and, as someone mentioned, works well with GDTs.
