Default Anybody tried Chrome?

I'm still on good old Firefox, with occasional Opera for Tesco and when Noscript gets in the way.

Chrome is supposed to be the dogs bs, especially with the way it runs each page as a separate prog, but I don't know whether to give it a go.

Any of you bright techies tried it?

i'm on it as my default browser, mainly because it renders really quickly! no complaints - but it doesn't have a master password (which ff does have), so i use ff for anything that needs passwords and is vaguely risky. one has to be extra-careful if you live off laptops!

it's alright, the code for storing the passwords is open source, but that data definitely is not!

Tried it, it was alright but I'm still using Firefox :P

Can't remember why I uninstalled it now, it was a while ago. I think it was something to do with not displaying my site properly, when it works fine in both Firefox and IE.

I tried Chrome - didn't like it - but that was a long time ago; maybe it's more refined.
