Opinions?

So, have been seeing all over the place "Download Google Chrome"... any thoughts on it as a browser? Security? Just another one, no difference?  Thoughts? Opinions? Anyone trying it?

I work down the hall from the people who made it, so I'm a bit biased ( ... )

How about remembering pages I have been to? Like, with this version of Firefox, in the drop down of the address bar, it has like the top 10 pages I go to... is there something similar (I ask partly for whoring reasons...)

I think Chrome does a better job at that than Firefox. It not only gives you a history of where you've been, but makes a pretty good guess on where you might want to go.

Example:
Imagine you've visited a site called "toast.com"
If you type "to" in the address bar you might get suggestions like:
www.toast.com
search for "toys for tots"
www.toyota.com

It also has the "new tab" page. If you just open a new window the first thing you see is your 9 most visited sites with little thumbnail pictures of each one.
