So here's my review of Google Chrome.

Pros:
<w:sdt sdtdocpart="t" docparttype="Bibliographies" docpartunique="t" id="658094550">Appearance:
</w:sdt>[indent]<w:sdt sdtdocpart="t" docparttype="Bibliographies" docpartunique="t" id="658094550">Google chrome shines in its slick new look, it’s probably understandable why there’s already a Firefox theme out for it. Its efficient organization of space means more webpage and less browser which I like.</w:sdt>

Speed:
</w:sdt>[indent]<w:sdt sdtdocpart="t" docparttype="Bibliographies" docpartunique="t" id="658094550">Google chrome runs every tab in a separate process, and the resulting speed and stability is impressive. Pages load twice as fast as Firefox and a bazillion times faster than IE. Also if an add-in causes the browser to crash, you only loose that tab because is running in its own process.

Incognito mode:
</w:sdt>[indent]<w:sdt sdtdocpart="t" docparttype="Bibliographies" docpartunique="t" id="658094550">There’s a new feature that allows for completely traceless surfing on the web. Upon activating this mode Chrome leaves no trace of the pages you’ve visited on your computer. (Google)</w:sdt>

Quick and easy setup:
</w:sdt>[indent]<w:sdt sdtdocpart="t" docparttype="Bibliographies" docpartunique="t" id="658094550">Setup was a breeze, and uninstalling took all but 3 seconds. Although I was a little upset win Google updater was installed as a startup service.</w:sdt>

Cons:
Confusing layout:
</w:sdt>[indent]<w:sdt sdtdocpart="t" docparttype="Bibliographies" docpartunique="t" id="658094550">Google chromes simplified layout can be confusing at times. I found it difficult to find features I was looking for. In my opinion if you have to hunt more than 30 seconds for your bookmarks that’s too long.</w:sdt>

Compatibility:
</w:sdt>[indent]<w:sdt sdtdocpart="t" docparttype="Bibliographies" docpartunique="t" id="658094550">Google chrome has a new rendering engine which apparently has some issues. ‘Chrone doesn't works with Hotmail.

I still Firefox 3 is better =D and Firefox is Netscape!’ (Views google.es on Google Chrome Google Chrome How To Use The New Google Chrome Browser).</w:sdt>

Summary:
In all I give Google chrome a 7.5 out of 10. For now I’m uninstalling it, and sticking with Firefox. I’ll give it another shot when it’s no longer in beta.

IE8's latest beta loads tabs as unique processes too now.

And it's still slow as hell. I did a speed test on both browsers (ie8 vs Chrome). Chrome crushed Internet Explorer.

I'll try it once there is a Mac version, but I definitely won't give up Firefox for good. The Web Developer toolbar is invaluable.

Are you talking about Firefox of IE8? There's a tool bar for both. I was saying Chrome beat IE8 in a speed test. I wouldn't give up FireFox either.

It loads just fine for me.

I haven't used anything other than Opera for the past 3 years, and I have it customized to my own personal preferences so specifically that any other browser is difficult for me to use.

The title of this thread is a little misleading. You say it's "prone to rust" but all you have is praise for it.

I don't have praise for it, I just like IE less.

Indeed, being better than IE isn't much praise...

I was talking about Firefox. The toolbar for IE sucks...although I don't know if the IE8 version is any different.
