I've tried it and was rather disappointed. I expected Google to develop something better; but if you're not looking for something complicated and preferring agility for complexity it may fit you.
After experimenting with a lot of different browsers, I found SlimBrowser by Flashpeak the best one. It has a few downsides but a lot of features that FF or any other browser don't offer - fully customized search engines part, hotkeys for customized extensions. Been using it for years.

Da best browser I have used so far.. Yeah Firefox is okay but it takes up so much space.. with chrome Ican reclaim all my space.. nd I don't need a lotta addon's. cons wid chrome: supports 128 bit encrytion only.. so for payment gateways I need to use FF or IE again

I was using google chrome, but found it wasnt compatible with some sites (and my db for work) honestly Firefox is the way to go. Add the anycolor plugin, and it looks slick.

i've tried it, it's great but firefox just takes the cake, google chrome is to firefox as push was to heroes :P

i used it since the first day it came out up until a few weeks ago.

why you may ask?

i find google chrome much faster than both IE (ew) and firefox, its an excellent browser!

there is only 1 fatal flaw. there is a built in unique id asigned to you when google chrome is intalled which could potentially allow google to see EXACTLY what you do while using google chrome, which is a big no no. there is ways to remove this code, but i switched back to firefox due to this.

Google already knows exactly what you do. I remember googling for "i7" because I wanted a new processor and later, when I was logged into Gmail, all of the adsense ads were for an i7 despite me not having any emails about it (they also give ads based on email contents, but that's obvious). It's just the cost of using these "free" products, and you shouldn't be so worried about it.
