  Pros

  Fast.
  Easy to use.

  Cons

  Downloads are a pain.
  Does not show all links.
  Does not work with Adobe files.
  Crashes more often than other browsers.

  Summary

  Yes Chrome is fast and yes it is easy to use, but, IE and Firefox have improved and the difference Chrome offers does not compensate for the downsides as much as it had. Unlike IE, Chrome does not open files, it requires that they be downloaded, then opened. Which takes up more storage space and bogs down the computer unless you are diligent about cleaning up the files. Last I checked, this was known at Chrome and there were no plans to implement a fix. It appears that Google is trying to force the use of their programs by not allowing Adobe files. When I use Chrome I am constantly having to open my IE to look at files and links, and at this point I am moving back to IE as a primary browser. I like having more control over my computer use than Chrome offers.
  Dear Google,
  I am a customer. This is my computer. I will use Chrome if it makes using my computer easier to use, not harder.
  
  Regards.
  A former Chrome user.
