Now it would be interesting how the web world react to the non beta version. I don't think chrome can be a healthy competitor to Firefox as it lacks charm.

Compared to Firefox, Chrome is truly a light weight browser. Currently I am using both these browsers and I prefer Chrome to Firefox because it loads pages at a much faster rate. But there is no auto-fill option in Chrome. So it gets a bit hectic when one is really in need of it,for eg:when registering on a new site. The greasemonkey feature of Firefox is something which is incomparable. Whereas Chrome is yet to support add-ons.

I've not downloaded it as yet. It sounds like it can't compete with the Firefox add ons, and I rely on several of those pretty heavily.

So my question is...once its really out and going, will it live up to the hype its gained so far? I'm not entirely certain it will "dazzle". But it will be pretty good i feel.
