Although initial release was only for Windows, the rumor is that Mac and Linux users might just get a brand new web browser too, but without official announcements and dates for this to be confirmed we can't say no more.
Chrome is slick, fast and reliable browser with some new tools of the trade. Migration from one of the previous browsers, whether it was Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer will be a breeze but new and innovative tab bar, omnibar and the complete lack of title bar will definitely be a strange experience for some users. The rest of the minimalistic design story is pretty much already known more or less. The biggest section goes for web page being viewed and the rest is filled up with search bar, bookmarks and the rest of needed things that need to be easily available.
Speed. If it is the one thing that would make you use Chrome than that is your answer. And if the Google engineers deliver their promises this will be the Chrome's strongest point over time. Separated processes for every tab is the most innovative approach and it means that while one tab is busy you can use all the others without any problems.
Amongst other things we can mention integrated debugger for web developers, enhanced security and maybe the best two words in the entire web, open source. That's right the Google Chrome is completely opened for cooperation and it is good news.
But, everything might not be that shiny after all. Yet. There are still stability problems, minor and bigger bugs here and there and API support is yet to come out which will enable developers to write extensions although their effectiveness is yet to be proved. And because Chrome is years back behind his competitors, years might pass until competition is reached. We are patient.
Now with everything being said, one Hot Wink was sent towards Chrome direction. You can get it here and take it for a spin.
