    Thanks for the heads-up. It's only for the Beta version though. I might switch to Chrome for good this time.

    Chrome may very well become my default browser once all this stuff is out of beta.

    I'll make the permanent change to Chrome when GOOG does something with that horriblely inadequate mess that passes for a bookmark organizer.

    With StumbleUpon, I might very well set Chrome as my default browser.

    Developer Channel is usually updated at least once a week and gets the newest features first.

    Lol, I have since switched to having my popular extensions from firefox as gadgets on my desktop since I went with Chrome.

    I wonder if I'll need this. Hmmm :)

    i like chrome.
    its fast, got a very minimalist interface and its sandboxing features should theoretically make it the safest browser out there- its the closest thing to surfing in a virtual machine.
    the addition of ad-block will just make it all the more safer.

    I'm on the latest dev build, and tried every adblocker for Chrome, but none of them work as good as ABP in Firefox... Hope ABP will release a version for Chrome

    And these adblockers don't block, they just hide.... big difference
