I may get called a blasphemer, but my initial response to Google's Chrome is that it is a very very very nice browser. It has built into it a couple things that I use plugins to do in FireFox. I can easily sync my bookmarks across computers with my Google account. So far I'm liking it better than FireFox and plan to continue working with it.

I don't even use firefox anymore, heck I don't really use anything except chrome nowadays, unless I need some weird hacky like plugin, sure then firefox is nice.

But for all my browsing needs it's all Chrome. Only thing that makes me crazy is it starts a separate process for each tab. course a page on a tab can crash chrome, and it only kills that one tab.

It's also crazy easy to tear pages off of tabs and into new tabs. I love Chrome.

Wasn't bad. Download manager seemed funky, though. Is there a way to get the downloads to persist after you close the window? IE: Firefox's download manager?

Theres stuff that I only hit through the Chrome download manager.

If you ever wanna see a list (which of course you can search through) Hit the Wrench and choose downloads, shows you a list of all the downloads and a search box up top.

I think the way chrome does searches on a page is probably my most favorite feature, as I like to see what it's found and how many and jump from message to message without a big giant popup like IE
