Tried it, not that impressed. On my rig, Firefox 3 is generally just as fast if not faster on a lot of sites. Some Chrome was faster. I don't like Chrome's interface too much. I don't like the way it handles bookmarks and my biggest problem..... it's blue. My theme is blood red. It doesn't integrate into the theme like FF3 does. AND no add-ons. I like my Ad-Block Plus for FF.

But it's in Beta and may see further improvements and I'll give it this: it uses less memory but for now, I'm stickin to FF3 on the desktop and FF2 on the laptop (Paypal Plug-in isn't FF3 compatible yet).

And now I'm on my mom's computer in the other room doing tests and getting the same results. Only this is a 1.3GHz Celeron with 256MB of RAM using a wireless connection. Plus I discovered Chrome doesn't have some of my favorite keyboard shortcuts that make things quicker.

The only advantage I have found that Chrome has over FF3 so far is because it uses less memory, the program itself opens faster...... on an old ass computer with 256MB of RAM.

But again, I reiterate, it's in beta. There could be many improvements to it that might make it better when it's done but for now Firefox is still my browser of choice.

again, for me not any faster. Actually a little slower cause it had to take time to load all those ads my FF doesn't.
