I've been using Google's new browser in beta, Chrome, since July 2009. It was made available to Linux users only this year. Chrome came out a year ago only to Windows users. I like Chrome beta now in version 4.0.211.2 for Linux.
It is fast period. What is it about Webkit anyway?
I like how they implemented their location bar. The drop down items are differentiated into history, bookmarks and so on. It now comes in different themes you can download right from the browser tab. Speaking of downloads, whenever you download a sticky banner appears below reducing a substantial real estate of your screen. To remove it I have to lift my hand to reach for my mouse to click it away.
Still no print feature.
Flash and Javascript implementation is not 100 percent yet. Although Linux users have a workaround.
The greatest innovation done by Google in browser development by a big organization is to let the public use the beta and report bugs. See the progress almost on a daily basis. Open and global.
