Has anybody tried Google's new web browser?

http://www.google.com/chrome


Any thoughts on how good it is? Or is it just... another browser.

Do you think Google Chrome will ever depose Internet Explorer, or even Firefox, as the browser of choice?

Honestly - don't touch it with a bargepole. Not for a while at least.

It's built on (an old version of) the Apple Safari browser codebase, which contains a number of nasty cross platform security bugs. Safari is pretty well reknowned for being a swiss cheese of a browser. People slate IE for that, but it's safari that holds the crown by far.

I wouldn't be surprised if a Google browser tracks . habits like their search engine does if we forget to log out. :?
