OK, I am using it now...it's good, it's fast...

they really tweaked it well from the beta version...

the page display is a little different and can get some taking used to...

the brightness is a little bit harsh on the eyes....maybe it is just me....

but it is FAST....

and in reading the specs and thanks to it's affiliates, it's going to have major security on the browsing system...probably even better than firefox

cool features: it's got built in spell check so as I am typing it is highlighting everything that I've misspelled....uh oh, Frank and Alpho, you two are in trouble....LOLOLOL

I like the incognito mode....and you get MORE page vs. the IE and firefox browsers (they take those up with the menu and tool bars..

nice!

OK, more cool features...

thumb nails on the tab so we don't have to guess what page that tab is...! LOL Cool!!

incognito browsing is pretty cool whenever you want to vew something without it in your history...that means you don't give away your cookies! LOL

OK, this is going to sound weird...I am comparing IE and Chrome side by side

and it might be just me, but chrome has made my IE faster...

I will be glad when has a few more Plug-ins I am fond off. I think I read on LifeHacker.com that when tested it recently and it came in faster than the other popular browsers.

yeah, I am testing those out right now also...

I think it'll get more support with the plug-ins if people start to support the browser...

there are still stuff to be tweaked, but I am really digging it right now...

I just went to a known unsecure site (phishing) on purpose using the browser, it didn't let me through...so, the security seems up to par with firefox.
