I've been using it but I fear they have a lot of ironing out to do and it needs additions to even be comparible in some ways to firefox or any similar browsers.

It's security takes matters into it's own hands and decideds if you will see certain pics of not. You have no control over it at all in any beneficial way.

It is just about impossible to use with facebook or certain applications on there, or my space or programs like that. It just hangs there with nothing happening and no pics.

It won't go back pages either. At least, you can't go back to say, the 4th last page you looked at. It only goes to the previous page and that's it, nor will it go forward a page.

It is fast. Way faster than any other similar browser. Ther security is good, just too good at times. Ok for simple browsing but not good for working with other programs, like games or applications etc.

Its more secure that crappy IE too..

Problem is some programs won't work with allowing popups or cookies and chrome decides if you can see them or not. You can't adjust any settings or anything.

It's kind of like an updated state of the art search engine, with very high security.
