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.
Jacquii.
