Coolest feature was the ability to drag out tabs into a new browser or another browser window - yes I know FF can do that but even with all those themes can't stand the way FF looks (dare I say it IE7+ looks better).

One gripe though Chrome could do with zoom and 'full screen' features, however, for the first time I have set an alternative to IE as my default.; Like this Reply to this comment

For you who haven't tried siteadvisor you really should! It's a great add on.; Like this Reply to this comment

I haven't put it through any vigorous paces, but it is elegant and fast. I agree with other posters re: handling of bookmarks, I would prefer a more traditional approach to it, as well as a more traditional search box included. But these are minor points to me as once I learn the ins and outs I expect this will be less of an issue or no issue at all. So far, it handles streaming content very well via Silverlight, etc. Will post more later, but my initial rating is decidedly positive, and I have not once switched back to firefox or IE because of a problem with the browser, which is an encouraging sign.; Like this Reply to this comment
