"Thanks for nothing."
Version: Google Chrome 6.0.472.59
Pros
None, nada, zip, nothing.
Cons
Not compatible with older (5 years) Macs. THANKS GOOGLE!
Summary
Skip it. Go with Camino. faster than the bloatware that is FireFox.

"After careful consideration, meh?"
Version: Google Chrome 6.0.472.59
Pros
Stable, quick, and accurate.
Cons
Unorthodox UI, mediocre cookie control, more tabs than Carter's has Little Liver Pills.
Summary
Chrome looks as though it was designed by engineers who "know what's best for you." Typical of Google products, it's close enough to be effective, but not quite there. Still, the browser works, and you can use it if you don't mind learning your way around a browser. Chrome wasn't worth the wait or the hype.

"Slow in loading & rendering than it's earlier versions"
Version: Google Chrome 6.0.472.55
Pros
Google's smart move to use Apple's webkit engine.
Cons
With each of its latest version its getting slower than previous one. Takes time in loading, do not believe whatever google says. Use and see yourself. it's potential collecting user's data is not good. Features are poor.
Summary
Chrome 6 is not a match to Safari when it comes to mac. Even Firefox 3.6 and 4 beta loads and renders webpages with the same speed as Chrome does with, on my mac. Then why to bother about a browser with poor features and awkward look and security issue. There are more things than speed a browser should have.

"Chrome 6 is slower than Safari 5 and Chrome 5"
Version: Google Chrome 6.0.472.53
Pros
Renders webpages with very fast just like Safari 5.
Cons
Chrome 6 is much slower than Chrome 5, and takes lot of time in loading. I do not like Chrome collecting user's ID, and stuff like that. Not safe to use.
Summary
Snappier like Safari but features are not great. Chrome is getting slower and takes more time to load, with its each new version. Even Firefox 4 beta renders webpages with equal speed.

I am not those internet browser expert in anyway, but when I was a kid, I love to use the MS IE and Later I found it very suck, so when the is the firefox come out, I change to FF and it works for me, pretty fast FF, but it use a lot of my old computer's cpu and memory, so I am not really in love with the FF. And Here we got the Fast Google Chrome. GC is super light on my cpu and it let me browse the net pretty fast in many way. Haven't crack one time in 5 months compared to the old IE that always pop up huge amount of ad and I need to click and click to take it aways. IE is really hell and GC is paradise.
