I tried it a year ago and didn't like it. I gave it another try the other day after firefox kept crashing and it's amazing! Pages load 2-3x faster. It's ridiculously fast. It's very minimalistic and you can import all your settings from IE and firefox.

Has anyone else tried it out recently?

If I could get rid of the download bar showing up as well as the status bar I'd be using it. Since you can't disable those, I don't use it. I realize that sounds trivial, but it drives me crazy to have things at the bottom of my screen, and I just choose to use FF instead.

I'm in the same boat as you. This latest version of Firefox has been anything but stable, so I'm giving Chrome another shot.

Holy crap. I just downloaded Chrome upon reading this thread to give it a shot, and it is infinitely faster than IE. While at a snails pace with IE, I am flying on Chrome, with barely any load time at all opening a new web page.

Does it have anything like Adblock for Firefox?

what's funny is that everyone I know that uses chrome now, is doing so because firefox turned to crap recently.

I love whenever I'm using/borrowing someone else's computer and they don't have anything but IE. I go, "Sticking with Internet Explorer, eh? You should get Google Chrome." Nice little bit of advertising there.
