It's about time someone gave IE a run for their money.

It has a very nice minimalist look and feel to it. Much better that IE was or ever will be. I hope in future release they will have plug-in's such as the google tool bar and various seo tools, like Firefox has today. Overall great browser :) jeff I love Chrome.

This is the crash control feature allowing you to kill individual tabs instead of restarting your browser. All the other advertised "new" functionality I have already been using in Firefox for some time. Even the keyboard shortcuts are the same. Google do mention that they have taken many features from other browser builds and cite this as the reason it is published as open source. If I have any real criticism is that there is a lot of functionality that isn't included, such as a homepage button, but mainly the kind of things that your average user would not understand. As an illustration there are seven tabs in the options menu in Firefox, but only three for Google. The third Google tab being named "under the hood" contains only some pretty basic functions. The real difference for me though, is that the real functionality of a browser is the ability to customise it. Naturally there are no addons for the Beta version of Chrome, but if Google are to take their open source policy seriously, they should emulate Mozilla and encourage the development of addons and provide the hosting for them.
