if it helps you not to post in triplicate then its probably worth a go

I tried it on my laptop, and it's certainly very fast at rendering pages, and I saw no issues in general use.

One thing that did put me off is that it installs only for the current user, if your machine has multiple logins no other users will be able to use it by default. There is a way of fixing this apparently, but I couldn't be bothered with messing around so went back to the tried and tested Firefox. This was a few months back so may be fixed by now.

Chrome isn't quite 100% fit for purpose yet --- 6 months more development it should fit for use as the primary browsing tool.

Really better to stick to Firefox if for no other reason than the add-ons that are available.

I've tried it a few times - agree with the above that it needs another 6 months development....I found enough sites that didn't work with it to make me go back to firefox

They tried it at work, found it lacking in decide features.

As said, more development needed

Thankyou Fozzie, very much appreciated, sorry but I had to leave to go out for supper and then to watch Avatar...(pretty awesome visually but as an avid sci fi fan it's story seems to be blend of several I've read with a touch of "A Man called Horse" grafted in as well).... Thanks for the input guys... I'll take your advice and hold off for a while... keith
