Tomorrow is today then right? This is one browser I'll definitely give a go from as soon as I can get a copy installed

Yes 'tomorrow' is today.

Hmmm... Looks interesting! I'll certainly be giving it a try!
More importantly, it's going to be completely open source so you can download the source code, tinker about with it and release your own version!
PROBrowser, anyone?

Using the new Google Chrome Beta at the moment. Must say, it's pretty good. Everything seems normal and I've experienced no rendering issues at any of the sites I've visited (this one included). It seemed a bit slow at first but it's picked up a bit now.
Very clean, basic interface, typically Google-esque.

First annoyance:
By default it automatically imports bookmarks, passwords, etc. from IE (unless you decline) but not FF (which was the browser I used most). I would have preferred a choice of one, both, or none.

I've been using it for a few hours. Seems like a good browser with some nice features. For me nothing beats Firefox. I gotta have my extensions.
