    Cheers, just installing it now.

    EDIT:

    First impressions are that it's FAST! Not impressed with the right click options. Will need to try it for a few days. I need right click options not even a reload page or refresh option. It's gotta be customizable somewhere.

          Been using it for a few days at work now and I like it. I've always had a problem with Firefox loading images slowly so binned it.

          Still using IE at home but will continue to use Chrome at work. Taking into consideration its still a first Beta offering, I think it will leave the other browsers standing once fully released.

          Rumour has it that Google also plan to release an operation system

            I really like it, I love the 'Incognito' mode aswell.

            Nice simple browser, I'll be keeping it.

              Like the simple clean look, but seems to use ie settings - is this just a "Skin" for ie?

                can we have the question re-worded please...

                can't have a yes or no answer to that question!

                had a quick go but quickly uninstalled it, due to a very bad EULA and a security hole. I like google but wasnt impressed with the browser, might give it another go when it's the official release.

                and i think the OS they are working on is android which is going to be big on the mobile phone platform. should be something to rival the iphone anyway

                  I liked the fast installation, but after that its too simplistic..... perhaps I'm just institutionalised with Firefox, but I was looking for the bookmarks and the new tab functions, as well as the google search bar immediately and it was annoying me.....

                  i've returned to what I know, but its still there should I be adventurous!
