[BNM] Chrome: it's not a browser...

So has anybody actually downloaded and tried it yet?
I wasn't impressed with the installation procedure.  Its one of those ones
where you download a set-up file which then downloads the program you wanted
to download in the first place. Also not impressed by the custom GUI either,
why couldnt they just adopt the default XP style rather than forcing this
weird Vista/XP hybrid on me.

The browser itself seems fast and quick through, Gmail seems a lot snappier
than in FF3.  It has some kind of basic DOM inspector built in too ala
FireBug which is a nice touch. They've forgotten to let you add words to the
dictionary though. It also just crashed as I was composing an email and
pressed ctrl+z

I think it has potential.
