That's why you install it on a laptop that you don't care about losing "data" :D ..

It's a mozilla browser but on first glance it's missing some of the nice stuff you get in Firefox. In particular I don't see that it supports Firefox addons, which is a drag.
 
in terms of speed it plays out like this

1) Firefox 3, Chrome Beta (basic surf Chrome wins, advanced surfing Firefox wins)
2) Opera, Safari 4.0 (some claim it is as fast as Firefox 3, still waring over it)
3) IE 7

If you are still using IE you need to hit yourself and download one of the alternatives above!

I'm loving Chrome, think I have every angle tweaked on it, its pretty dang fast, but struggles with Flash and some video plug-ins. But thats the beauty of open source, especially with a project like Chrome, since the best and brightest programmers around the world want to see IE fail and open source thrive there is no doubt that it will grow, question is, can it beat out Firefox down the road.

In terms of market share the only reason IE has a leg up on Firefox is because most internet users are not savvy enough to install the alternatives, they just stick with the default Windows crap, same reason MSN search has 10% of the market, most people don't know how to change their default search :(

haha, I have to quote myself with a funny stat I remember reading on Tom's, when MSN Live search was first launched, the #1 hit was "google". Evidently people rather navigate to Google with a search then typing it in to the tool bar!
 
nothing for a mac!? crappy =P

and this is bad news for me... another new browser I have to support with my web apps =( at least it's built off webkit, it should be similar to safari.
