looks like google's much rumoured browser may not be vapourware
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html
looks good on "paper", at least if the claim that if one tab crashes, it only crashes that tab, and not whole browser that's a big plus.
Only on Windows for time being, Linux and Mac ones in dev still.
I guess it will need adblockplus to take off 
should be out today, story on BBC

It looks like IE7 and Opera had a baby.
I love the Awesome Bar in Firefox, so I like the similar address bar in this, but I don't like how it's much more faffing about to change search engines than on either Firefox or Opera. I'll keep it installed, but I'll be sticking with Firefox as my default browser.

Not tried at home (use Linux), just tried on my XP SP3 laptop at work, doens't work. uninstalled installed afew times, keep getting
failed to initialise properly error.
looks like it could be Symantic Endpoint related
Seen a few post on various places ppl having problems straight after install, not a good start, and no adblock plus anyway

Google first had your search history, then your email, then your documents online, now your whole browsing history...

Seems pretty good. Ive been using safari and a mac for ages, so I was used to some of the design methods.
I can see it being a bit jarring if you are a maximised window, toolbar kind of person.
I had a quick check to see if it would work with our website and a few of our internal applications. It does, so happy days there. Its also very fast.
It seems ok. i think once the nerds start getting the widgets out it will certainly be a worthy alternative to FF and will probably start eating into its market share.
And its another browser that this forums BB code doesnt work on
