I did notice one thing though. On google maps with IE you can hide the search area and have a full screen map, with chrome you can't. Not quite sure why that little option is not present in Chrome. I like the browser so far, I'm going to try and use it exclusively for a while and see how it goes. My intial experience was pretty solid. I did notice one thing though.

I'm still Google will have this figured out in no time. Scrolling on sites like espn.com is a bit slow(er) than Firefox, but other than that, this looks great.

We'll probably see FireFox 4 hit beta real quick with a lot borrowed from Chrome. IE? Well, IE is a train wreck hitting a school bus full of innocent little children with Autism on Christmas on the 5:00 news. IE 8 is too far along for them to scratch the entire project and start over. The Firefox people said it best that Google was frustrated. People weren't listening to them, so they decided to do it on their own. I don't think they care if Chrome becomes super-popular or the #1 browser. They want change. The best way to shape the market is to compete in it. Then they have people copying your ideas to sell more of their product. They almost ensured that, because that's what they want. They want FireFox, IE, Safari, Opera to all steal their ideas and use them. I don’t know about that quickly. We’ll probably see FireFox 4 hit beta real quick with a lot borrowed from Chrome.

Plus this page loads REALLY slow on my dino-top that my job provides me with.. but with Chrome, it seems to be loading in 1/2 the time. I like the Omnibar and NEW Tab window too... I've got the feeling that the more that I use the browser, the more it will know about me and will work even better for me... eventually, it will write my reports and walk my dog for me too.
