Dude this is freakin' rad. I'm in love.
EDIT: I hate webkit's text-selection... annoys the heck outta me.

It seems it works well so far, I only noticed some slowdown with WMODE=transparent flash movies.

Very cool, but it won't start searching within the page as soon as I start typing like Firefox does

I sure like the clean design and speed, but it renders one of my pages differently than other browsers. I admit that the HTML is over 5 years old and uses deprecated tags (someday I'm gonna have to face up to upgrading it!), but it inserts extra vertical space where I embed a Javascript link. Plthhhhhh! In case anyone's interested, the page is
http://usselectra.org and the issue is with the navigation button for MAP. I'm sure if I primped up the code to HTML 4, it would probably be fine, but it's disappointing that other browsers tolerate it, but Chrome does not.

amazing first version. It looks like a version 3 or 4. Very stable so far. I would like to have a title bar.

Why?
I downloaded it a few days back too. It's really swift, I might add. But it seems to be getting stuck when running flash.

That's a problem, I can live with it.

It is pure awesome.
I'm such a Firefox fanatic though, I don't know what I"m going to do. I love how clean the freaking thing is, and of course, the Google integration, but still...I don't know if I'll be able to separate myself from Firefox at this point. Perhaps if it becomes more extensible (i.e. add-ons), but right now, I'm sticking with the Fox
From years ago, I've always wanted one feature in Firefox: multi-threaded browsing. That each of the tabs were on their own process that can be ended when some idiot designer tries to sabotage you with some ungodly javascript, or hanging java applet, or broken flash. Chrome finally got that right. I think that even IE (ugh) is implementing that in IE8. Man, I hope Firefox catches on.

Aren't there Chrome-like themes for Fx?
