The wait sure continues...

Hopefully we will have a Mac OS X version sooner, rather than later.

Seems like I am not alone either.

downloaded it a few days ago and Ive found myself using it pretty much all the time...

i cant wait to try it. how did i miss this!?

Tried it. It is - a browser. Who would have thought? I personally feel much safer with my customized Firefox (which is only very slightly slower).

I tried it today, it is good now
and it can use script, which improve it a lot
it is a fun job

I tried it for a few days, got pissed at the EULA, uninstalled it, and once they admitted their mistake I had realized that it has no advantages over IE8 for me and that Firefox still has Adblock, so I left it uninstalled.

Chrome has been updated to Chrome v.2....even faster now!!

I love Chrome. So fast, very intuitive, Incognito...

I tried it because Firefox took a good 10 minutes to start up on my computer and I don't have the patience for that..
I ended up preferring Chrome.

Sadly its still limited to MS Windows only... **shakes head**

If you miss ad blocking in your browser of choice, you can use SRWare Iron instead of Chrome. It's based on the Chrome source code but you can add an ini file to the C:\program files\SRware Iron folder to block ads.

Ive been using Chrome exclusively for about 7 months now, goodbye Firefox!

Spybot and Spywareblaster only work in IE and Firefox so no Chrome for me. Then there is noscript for Firefox too so it's no IE for me either. I like Chrome otherwise though but I needs me pre-emptive protection.

Did a test the other day comparing a freinds setup to mine. Both searched for a known malware file in google. All I got were 2 hits, one about it being malware and the other to download it. On his PC he got over 600 hits. That's what pre-emptive protection can do for you and Chrome has none, unless you set up a Hosts file to block sites.

still ff for me, ie, not going back to that, chrome is just too darn basic, plus, id miss my 20 ff addons lol
waiting for the ff 3.5 to be properly relesed

using Chrome 2 right now. definitely faster... much better. i think i'll stick with it for awhile.

the only thing i miss is my little weather forecast in the bottom right... gotta love the Firefox add-ons. also wouldn't mind some Chrome skins... not a big fan of the blue color.
