No argument there, I have tried most of the browsers out there, I ended up using mozilla 99% of the time, but damn this thing is just another level quicker.

I was also playing with Chrome last night and I really like it [:)]

It's much better than Firefox (which I have never liked anyway)

Also tried IE8 but got bored with it as it's virtually no different than IE7 on the surface.

I've been using it for about 36hrs now and keep switching between browsers still, but can see that before long I'll be using Chrome all of the time.

Can see this myself, however I don't like how it handles 'Postdata' as FireFox calls it when, sometimes using the 'Back' button.

True and the one thing that really annoys me...why no home button?

You can add a home button - Settings, Options then 'Show Home button on the toolbar'.

My one gripe so far is that I'm used to using mouse gestures in Opera which aren't yet available (I don't think) in Chrome which is slowing me down. Once they introduce this I might be converted.

[:D] told you, I am noticing a few issues, but nothing major, the speed more than makes up for it, though I do have to say I am missing a few of my mozzila add ons
