Has anybody tried the "Google Chrome" update. I have been trying to install it, but it doesn't complete the installation. Logic says it should be better, but if it can't install can it be that good.
Google Chrome, any good?

Faster sounds good.
Thanks to all for the feedback. I'll make an effort to sort out the download and try is out. So far the Google I have has worked well, any improvement will be welcome.

Chrome does everything you need in a browser at super-quick speeds.
CTRL-T to open a new tab
CTRL-N to open a new window
CTRL-W to close a tab/window
CTRL-L to go to the address bar.... from which will do a google search AND search your history.
I love it. I know that other browsers do the above, but Chrome is so much quicker (and the address bar search much more efficient)

Chrome is pretty good.
It's fairly stable, although I've encountered a few minor issues on my Vista machine at work.
It provides lightning fast JavaScript processing compared to all the other browsers as it runs multi-threaded, which also means if a page crashes you shouldn't lose all your other pages.
It has various nice features (create website shortcuts, incognito window). The only downside is their aren't many plug-ins as yet which makes it a little unsuitable if you like quirks or are into web development.

From my experience Firefox is unrivalled in terms of adaptibility and add-ons, Opera is the best for bookmarking and regular websurfing (speed dial function is very handy), Chrome is very quick and functional but can be resource intensive, and no one I know uses Internet Explorer because it's miserable.
I also seem to be having an issue with IE lately, when it refuses to load web pages for some reason. Very intermittent and frustrating. Sometimes it's all web pages, sometimes it's only if you open a new tab.
I wouldn't use it at all, but some of the sites I need to use for work rely on it.

Disappointingly, the prevalence of other browsers on the computers of private internet users hasn't led to the use of them in the business world. I hardly know anyone who works regularly with a computer who isn't forced to use IE.
It might be worth putting the issue to your employer that there are other browsers out there that are technically better in various ways and that they'd probably save money if they started using them.
