Overall, I feel Google has a real gem on their hands. Yea it has it's issues right now, but to be perfectly honest, so did Firefox before it was in version 1 and look where it is now, so I say give it a chance, it will get there. You can download Chrome <a href="http://tools.google.com/chrome/?hl=en-US" target="_blank">here</a> if you're interested in taking a look at it, and honestly, I suggest you do at least try it out.
