Nope, haven't tried it. I've used Firefox for the past few years and just updated to Firefox 3.

Google's got it all. It's the best company.
They've never paid for advertising Google and they're really funny.

TOISP Lol.

OMG. Why haven't you guys downloaded this yet!??!
This is amazing. Basically FF3 but Google-ized.
It literally is Firefox with a Google skin and feel.
I want to change my choice! :P

It downloads super quick and imports everything from FF or IE. It automatically set up my bookmark toolbar the first time I launched it.

It's ok... it loads everything super quick, but i'm worried about security. Apparently there's a huge cash reward for whoever hacks it up. I'm not sure, but i didn't see a homepage function. Don't like that. There's no easy way to edit/organize bookmarks.

Needs some work.

But no add ons, no skins, no grease monkey no nothing, and its google they already monitor you, you really think having a GOOGLE browser would be not the choice if you are worried about that kinda stuff. Also, firefox will come out with a skin in no time, also if you have xp it looks like crap, turn on vista's transparency and yea it looks nice but because of the listed reason above. I will not get it.

Damn.

Bye bye Chrome, good while it lasted.
