It’s got the oomph factor and the browser is cool (I’m running it on Win XP using Parallels) too.

Download chrome

If you’re looking out for the feature list, you might just go read it here.  I’ll try and list some of the things which didn’t work as expected(at least for me).

Corp URL?

I hit the known product issues URL just to check for any document issues. Bling bling, two redirects and boy there you go, I hit some google corp url.
DNS Error

Collect statistics

Collect statistics option is turned on by default, you might just wanna turn this option off for security reasons.
Usage statistics

JavaScript console

The JavaScript console looks neat, but only to know that it doesn’t work as I thought it would. It worked only for the first time I launched chrome.</oops!>

Google gears

Chrome has built in support for gears.
Gears

Shortcuts

Enter about:memory in the address bar to see memory used by chrome and other open browsers (if any).
about: will give built information about chrome.

There is a javascript debugger, javascript console and a task manager in the developer section.
With all said, I must say ‘It’s Nice’.

Oh! and this whole new theme change and thingy happened last evening.
