Anyone tried it yet? I really like it a lot better than FF. Some cool features with tabs and seems to be a less of a memory hog as well. Right now its only currently for windows but they're said to be working on Mac, and Linux versions.

Here is the link.

definitely a little buggy. but there are some tweaks available in the options screen, including a 'home' button. why that wasn't defaulted is beyond me. here is an informative article from cnn pertaining to chrome and the other browsers.

i kinda wanna check it out but i always don't want a 3rd browseron my computer, programs conflict enough as it is. i might wait until it's less buggy and just replace FF with it. can i import my FF bookmarks into it?

i spend so much time with bookmarks its hard to convince me to use a new browser unless i can import bookmarks. I still haven't had a chance to check this out. i'm 5 days now without internet and it could be 2 - 3 more. Thats another story but i'm so pissed at the incompetence charter showed that i've decided to move on and switch.

yes, you can import your ff bookmarks, along with the other popular browsers. but to get your home button, you have to go into the options menu and select that feature. definitely a 'wtf?!' moment.
