Been using it since day one, much faster and other than a week or so without certain java plugins i have had no complaints. it is much faster than any other browser, and all of my pages look fine in it. the only thing i could ask for are the web dev plugins i use in firefox. i’m sure those will come shortly.

Matt Cutts actually threw out a link today to someone that did some stress testing it. Apparently, it is a lot faster than FireFox and Safari.

Then again, there are some folks stress testing Javascript that’s making Chrome slower that IE and Firefox.

An old friend of mine, Dabe Murphy, mentioned that it’s got new undercover features such as silo-ing (is that a word?) processes, so if a page crashes, it doesn’t bring down your entire browser. Raise your hands if you had FireFox or IE crash on you lately? Yeah, exactly, everyone.

Web Apps is really what’s on these guys minds, time for prime-time on that stuff.

i’ve been using Chrome for about a day now and it seems to be a lot faster than FireFox or IE… though i do miss the “recently closed tabs” feature in Firefox
