I`ve been using GC for a few hours and I must say I quite like it. Obviously it`ll be much better once it supports Java etc, but it does seem to be very stable.
Meh - I didn't like it very much - too minimalist with very few customization options for my liking. I think the ultimate browser would be something that offers the end user a wide variety of customizations right out-of-box and definitely be easy on system resources.
What Google Chrome is missing IMO:
• Bookmarks ordering manager to easily order bookmarks
• User customization (ie ability to order toolbar placement)
• Options to import settings from all installed browsers
• No full screen mode?!?!? :-/
• Address bar with option to add separate search
• Feeds integration would be nice for new "streamlined" browsing
• Integration to check Googlemail would be wise (aka integrating Google features)
• Integration to track adsense and other google-only implements (analytics, etc...)
• An optional sidebar to easily access bookmarks, downloads, history, etcetera would be nice
• More options to customize site-specific preferences (ie show images, block popups, etc...)
• Additional options to customize the ugly, blocky & waaay different appearance
• A better way to store website passwords and such whilst keeping browser integrity safe
I do like the speed of browsing - it is quite quick loading pages. The privacy feature is interesting and novel - but seems incomplete... I sort of like the look of the tabs up top - but most will probably hate it LOL --- It's an interesting beta - but there's just so much missing IMO......
I like that Google is taking a chance by introducing the Chrome browser - With a few additions implemented and a wider embracing of user-specific customization - I think it's a possible winner.
I have yet to use Google Chrome, however, my friend currently uses it and he thinks that it is great. I think that he sees some problems with the browser, nonetheless, he still continues to use it. I am currently using Mozilla Firefox and I do not plan to switch soon.
Anyone still using Chrome? I heard that they are about to release the third update but without the plugin support that Firefox provides I don't see me changing.
The next Firefox is meant to be improving the performance which seems to be the main benefit of Chrome(?).

I'm rocking google chrome as I type.
You finding any drawbacks?
I've found less drawbacks to Chrome then FF3. That's actually right about when I switched. I'm still having issues with FF3 and some sites so I switch back and forth between the 2 when inside XP. I still use FF2 on Ubuntu.
