OT- Anyone else trying Google's new browser, Chrome?

Has some neat features that I like, but I miss the drop down feature in the address bar that shows your last few visits to other locations.  On the other hand, the opening screen shows mini-windows of the last six sites visited, which is in some ways better if not quite as convenient.

Only problem I've noticed is that when checking e-mail in MSN's hotmail, I can't open one, whereas when I log in with firefox it opens right away.

Also, Sun has made a MS compatable office suite available for free, at OpenOffice.org.  Free spreadsheet, word processor, data base, presentation software and more. So far no problems with this at all, don't even use Excel anymore.

This topic has been discussed before and I think the comments about Chrome's lack of features is offset by the fact that Chrome is deisgned to be "light" and "fast".  Very small program "foot print" means it won't have all the features of full blown, aka bloated, browsers on the market.

Thanks, my short experience seems to match the concensus. Seems a bit faster than firefox.

Ive been using it daily since it pretty much came out.  Now that plugins are starting to pop up I probably won't go back to FireFox any time soon.  FF2 just eats up memory and is clunking on my laptop.

I have not used it in a while, I will look into the plugins though to see how they work out.
