I gave Chrome a go little while ago - found it a little awkward TBH - fiddly plug ins and big icon menus - didn't look nice on a 1024x768 laptop screen
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

they need to go a bit further than an alpha release to make me move from Firefox ;-)

Chrome is nice, but I've got quite a few add-ons for Firefox which I find really useful (Foxmarks, WebMail Notifier, etc). The one thing Chrome has over Firefox is the separate processes for each tab - that's a good idea, but I'm sure FF will copy that in due course and then there's no contest. Besides, 3.1 beta 2 (FF) looks quite fast.

Chrome is getting better, but it still doesnt render some pages properly.

I like firefox, if opera rendered more pages properly I might switch, but till then I like firefox. My only niggle is they still havent fixed the memory hole (means it hogs more and more memory till you close firefox, sometimes over 500MB RAM)
