My biggest complaint with any Google product is the damned GoogleUpdate.exe process that gets started automatically. Whether it came with Chrome or Sketchup, all I know is when I uninstalled both Apps, the process remained. I had to physically delete it. Bad form.
Like bloatware with Apple and Abode, I am afraid that Google's "product" line will end up as bloated.
Yeah, I agree, I don't like that thing either.
On my Win XP Pro SP3 fully patched laptop with 1GB RAM, Google Chrome locked up --- the whole browser locked up --- with three tabs open. Two of them were articles explaining why that should never happen. I guess that's just bad luck. And yes, I do know what Beta means.
Also, I hate it that the updater tried to insinuate itself into my startup. Thank you Mike Lin for the utility that makes that hard.
And...just curious. You don't use bookmarks? How do you keep all that stuff in your head!?! I'm getting a headache trying to imagine that!
I usually use the stopwatch at numion.com to compare browser speeds of pages I visit. (I fail to see the point in testing pages I don't use regularly..which often speed testers will be testing pages I never use).
I have to say Google Chrome is definetly quicker than IE 7, but slightly slower than Firefox and Opera. However were talking about a second out on the pages I visit, and sometimes its faster.
I suspect what the actual problem is, is the way it renders the page. Its deceptive in that in Opera or Firefox, you start seeing the page as soon as you click on it and then the rest will render so you don't really notice. With Chrome that does not seem to happen so much.
I would have liked better bookmark management and the ability to import from Opera directly. The email to link is just nonsense imho - your really scraping the barrel if thats the only complaint you have.
The showing of the 9 most popular pages is not really my thing. I much prefer Opera's speeddial where I can set it to what I want.
I love the seperate processes for each tab, I like the way you can move it around - the whole tab and creat multiple tabs into windows reallly easily.
A good browser and I think if nothing else, it will give the competition a lot to think about and move them in new directions. Which is only to the benefit of us the users 
A major issue is the installation location of Chrome, which puts itself in to the Users or Documents and Settings directory structure, instead of Program Files. This is a major problem in my eyes, and should certainly give pause to any security minded individual. And big pause to any corporate IT department.
T Man, you're right, that is a head-scratcher and a PITA.
Alex, the "Chrome DoS" comment on your blog is causing Chrome to crash
c r a s h : % (without the whitespace)
Causes it to crash
Aside from that: I like it, it is amazingly fast.
I also like Chrome, it has potential. From a security standpoint will it be as secure as firefox 3.0 though?
Alex I am surprised you don't use any of the extensions or bookmarks in FF!
Darth_yoda, nope, I don't bother with bookmarks. I need something, I google it.
FF 0.9 was lighting quick too (with no extensions). I don't think Chrome is going to remain fast either.
@Destroyer
DoS has that effect on things 
Got to wonder how google managed to let this one slip through
Even copying and pasting : % into the address bar breaks it
Only seems to crash the browser if I view the source using
Actually scrub that, I've now managed to break it clicking on my name in the post above... lol
Did anyone read the EULA?

I would not install Chrome for that reason.
Google did change some of the terms, however.

What about accessibility? Accessibility can't just be bolted on afterwards - it needs to be designed in from the start. The fact that the application cannot be used with just a keyboard is astonishingly negligent - that's a fundamental requirement of any application. The simplicity of the UI means it should have been really easy, and the fact that the application is device-dependent suggests that accessibility isn't on their radar at all.
The fact that keyboard-only users, screen reader users and others cannot usethe browser at all means that they are entirely excluded from the beta phase, so it seems they will not be able to provide feedback until it goes
gold, if it ever does. For an organisation with Google's resources this is totally unacceptable.
