    Has anyone downloaded the beta version of this browser and used it? How does it compare with IE7.0 or Firefox 3.0? Any problems?

    Very quick, very nicely layed out and great Java control (as in if one thing crashes, it remains that way and you can close that tab with closing the whole program) but it's just not there yet in terms of usability, uniqueness (as it depends on IE Network Settings) as well as Add-Ons (because it will take a while to catch up on Firefox's multitude of them).

    Definately worth trying out, it's very clean and crisp but still... beta.

    I love the new tab function, instead of displaying a blank screen like IE or Firefox, it gives you thumbnails of your most visited pages. The search bar is really good, its built into the address bar. Finding it very good so far.

    I'm using it all the time, and just use Firefox now when I need some of its developer plugins.

    With all its freezes/hangs/crashes - Firefox had just become unusable for me, way too frustrating.

    Hopefully Chrome will eventually get most of the Add-ons Firefox has.

    Does it take up much space?

    should i wait a while before downloading-give them a chance to speed everything up a bit more?
