Google Chrome Browser
I downloaded the new Google Chrome browser today, and have been using it a good part of the day. So far I like it. It is straightforward, and seems to be very quick to load pages. It was great that it imported my bookmarks from Firefox and built them in the same structure (favorites folder and another bookmark on the bookmarks toolbar) with no muss nor fuss. Not something I was able to accomplish easily with IE, Firefox, or Safari.

I downloaded it onto my laptop this PM. It pulled my bookmarks from Firefox vs IE7 - not sure why. I worked/played with it for about 30 minutes but just could not seem to get comfortable with it and eventually removed it.
I may give it another try on my desktop since my IE7 browser is acting "funny" there anyway and needs to be debugged.

I'm using it right now.. so far I like it!
I also like the "incognito window" feature, also known as the "porn window". Doesn't leave any traces of where you're been inside of that window.

Some interesting bugs have been found in it so far too, so be careful while you are using it....
Also, Chrome (and the IE8 beta) tend to use more local computer resources due to the way they work. Chrome can also put more demands on your DNS servers as well, at least in this beta.
