Google Chrome is really one among the best browsers!!
Chrome is really one among the best browsers i have ever used.. Their beta version also has increased security features.. Really cool..! Chrome is far better than the Internet Explorer.. But according to me, Chrome cannot be compared with Mozilla Firefox.. Firefox is just the best browser ever..!

To Compare Chrome...
To Internet Explorer is like comparing a Ford T
(customized while retaining the original engine)
to a Lexus 400...why would you do that?
We all have our own opinions. If FF does what
you need it to do, then so be it. I'm not mad
and I won't insult you for having an opinion (I
just hope it's your own opinion and not one that
someone handed to you)...
I would suggest doing your own research. They're
both free browsers so you lose nothing but time
and a little bandwidth... Either way, keep your
options open.
I've used FF and GC on Ubuntu, WinXP, and
WIN7...and have found Chrome to render pages,
flash, and javascript generally faster in all
conditions... Maybe you've had a different
experience?
I like Chrome so much that I've installed
Comodo's Dragon browser (a GC-based browser with
more privacy) so that I could retain
more security, but by the look of this latest
update [to come] Chrome may begin doing it all
by itself. Either way, always good to have two
browsers (never know when one may croak), so
I'll keep Comodo Dragon as well...
FF is no where near the market for me...although
IE is even further from consideration. I am
admittedly looking forward to seeing IE9 in
action. I love MS, but their grip to
backwards compatibility (good for customers; bad
for their innovation and OS security) has led me
in other directions for browsers and the like...
Happy Posting!!

Great
I couldn't have said it better!
I have used every single (commercial) browser out there, on every platform including mobile devices and PDAs.
Up to date I have not found a single browser that can beat Chrome in both UI and speed. I must say, however, Chrome is still a bit lacking in Linux due to compatibility problems with certain plugins.
However, the added privacy and security beats the hell out of any other browser I've tried.
- Internet Explorer has it's problems with CSS rendering / backwards compatibility. Making up for it with "Compatibility View" was not the best option.
- Firefox is stable, has loads of plugins, but lacks a bit of muscle, has too many bug fixes and security issues being fixed constantly, doesn't have a slick nor impressive UI (even with plugins like Chromifox and Omnibar which is buggy).
- Safari looks nice, performs beautifully well, but the UI and some of the options are a bit "strange" to use. However, I'll leave this to a matter of taste, I quite like Safari though.
- Opera... Too bulky... Works good, loads of options, perfect css/xhtml handling and validation, but too bulky.
- Chrome speaks for itself. Eats quite a lot of ram sometimes on some JS/Flash heavy pages... But makes up for that with every other option it has, security-wise, UI-wise, speed-wise. A bit lacking on Macs still, but it's getting there. Still also needs a bit of work on Linux. But on Windows it is pure glory.
