Just got this linked to me elsewhere.  I'm downloading and installing now.

It's...

a lot faster than FF.  To say the least.  These forums loaded up in under a second, fully rendered, and not cached.  It also imported everything from FF it looks like.

I wasn't really ever a FF guy, but I think I'm gonna be a chrome convert. IE/chrome combo

[Dracus]

I'll wait till the dust settles before committing to another browser. Google has really damaged their reputation in terms of user privacy in recent years. I'd like to wait & see if savvy users find anything fishy in Chrome: like storing your browsing history on google servers and subsequently giving it to the government like they already do with search requests.

Seems like there are some chrome/forum issues though.  The kudos isn't all the way to the right.  I'll post a SS under the proper forum later when I get a chance.

and it seems to have an issue with standard (without CSS?) buttons.

Actually, it seems to have issues with anything form related that is unstyled via css.

Reason enough? Oh.
