Has anyone downloaded the BETA and tried it yet?
Have been playing on it this morning and it seems pretty good to me, only problem I have found is no AdBlock (as with FF).

Watch out for the T&C's!

Reading the T&C's I think I'll pass...
FF + AdBlock + FlashBlock + QuickJava == browser of choice for me.

Me too...`nowt wrong with FF. ;)

They also found security flaws with it.

T & C's make interesting reading. I think I will stick with FF though - the best browser IMO.
-
I prefer FF... Although I've only just gone to FF3, which I'm still getting used to. Even convinced SWMBO to use it now instead of IE

I kind of like the interface. Looks very uncluttered next to IE and FF.
I like the sandbox idea. A lot.
I really dislike the fact that they think they own everything I post using it. Like these words, my pictures etc >:( >:( >:( If I was using it.
But I'm not :) FF here too. With Noscript. :y
-
I think i'll stick to IE7 on windows, and FF on gay unix systems.
got an early tip-off to chrome, tried it about a week ago, it crashed. gave up.

I downloaded it, not reading the T&C's... is there a mention of image ownership then?
Shame really cos i actually liked it. But i doubt ill change from Opera

Yes, they had a statement that tried to give them the right to any of your copyrighted material that was posted via Chrome, to change it and re-serve it as their own.
The Register says that they have changed it though. Problem sorted.

The rest of that article is such a wind up that it doesn't give me confidence that the core point is actually true. :-?

They sorted the EULA now. Section 11 is gone. It was a mistake as they used the old Copy and Paste approach.
Chrome looks awesome under the bonnet - multi-threaded rendering is a real nice approach. It is still very buggy though - facebook killed it twice in 10 minutes for me.
I'll stick to FF, it beats everything else hands down (except maybe Opera). IE7 and IE8 aren't worth bothering with.
