I haven't tried it yet and doubt I will as long as it needs Wine (or a
Wine emulator, like Windows). But I notice that it's now an option on
browsershots.org so non-Chrome users can see how it handles their
pages. I expect, though, that if there's any difference from other
WebKit-based browsers it'll be in script behaviour rather than page
rendering, which is harder to test with something like Browsershots.
