RE: Google Chrome Beta

Chrome, actually, was a disappointment to me. It is indeed faster, DEFINITELY switching tabs, but it is not worth scarificing Firefox's flexibility and options in the backend.
Chromes Options dialog is useless, I can't do much at all in comparison to IE or Firefox.
Chrome will need good Plugin compatibility as well.
When running Shockwave.com and the Alaplaya sites simultaneously, the Alaplaya sites Flash Nav lagged considerably (I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz and 3GB RAM).
I liked out Flash worked out of the box and it imported my Firefox data quickly as well.
The Language Factor is terrible though - I had no idea how to use Chrome at first - obviously - and it was all in Spanish - I understood it but only after SkyDX helped me change Locale DLLs to make it English I manage to excavate to where the Language Dialog was (and yes I chose English on the Chrome Site, my comp is set to Spanish localization but it is still a bad flaw).
This should be the browser of choice for Schools, Internet Cafes, and those Netbooks - its clean, simple, runs fast and is intuitive - but I just don't find it satisfactory.
Like Zinga said, Multi-Process Browsing will probably be introduced in Firefox 4.
Mozilla Prism, new version of Gecko..... it'll be hard to take me away from Firefox, sorry, Google.
I really don't want to rate Chrome right now. I mean, this is the first Beta. However, its apparent that Google took a lot of Firefox, made a survey about the most popular features and plugin and had them inbuilt.
Everyone knows that Mozilla Firefox 4 is going to raise the standard to a new level. Especially if they integrate V8.. that is a really nice feature...
I'll use Chrome till i get sick of the ads, then back to FF3.
