If I want to e-mail a page i'm reading. Like a G-Mail send button PLease. I am probably missing something here because none of the other comments addressed this. Otherwise the lightening speed of chrome is such a major positive over [take forever boot up firefox] that, i'm almost ready to make chrome my default browser. I thought I could not live without READ IT LATER and MOUSE GESTURES but chrome comes close. Is anybody else concerned about the supposed major security weakness with CARPET BOMBING for Chrome: Avivi Raff security resercher?

With downloading Chrome you aggree with sharing your information with Google and God knows, what they'll do with it. I don't want anyone to be able to know WHERE I'm surfing, WHAT I'm surfing for and WHY. That's why I deleted Chrome after giving it a try. For me the best browser is firefox.

Capture enough users, push paid ads to the top of the autofill and drive the money to the bank. With greater type in traffic trending upwards, this could be seen as a grab for more cash, that has very little benefit for average small businesses trying to create a web presence. For example; type in www.news.com into firefox and chrome. Chrome presents me with a choice of news.cnet.com printed in green..... (the number one searched term if you were to type in news.com into the search field) Nothing wrong with this at all - they own the search information, they own the advertising network and they own how you are presented with information (if you use chrome). The pitfall in my opinion is not so much the development tool aspects, but how you help your clients compete. Unless you are number 1 or 2, you will be forced to spend more on advertising in order to be "found." As a small business owner, who is also paying the salaries of "web development activities" I fail to see how Chrome is a net benefit to the general internet community. On the other hand, I'll top up my Google share portfolio......... Perfect business model. Capture enough users, push paid ads to the top of the autofill and drive the money to the bank.

In the terms and conditions, if you publish anything onto the net, blog, youtube, facebook etc... they can use it how ever they want, with out paying you! I know it's really fast, but totally not worth it. Chrome SUCKS!

Spelling check is a killer functionality. Some javascript functions are implemented strangely. Chrome has problems in rending many pages, including iGoogle page... But it is sure better then M$'s product. btw: If you are seeking something capable of rending page quickly and you are using windows, try Safari win edition. It's incredibly fast! Also google's browser is not as fast as it is advertised.

FF still the best browser in town for web developers and designers. I tried to used this browser and wow looks nice and loads faster but I still used FF3 because of its add ons.
