I really can't recommend Chrome at all. It drains resources to a ridiculous extent for a browser that is clearly trying to take the minimal little is more approach. I like the full screen browsing aspect which does seem a little more immersive, but there's no excuse for swallowing up as much memory as it does.
I'd put it ahead of IE8 (just about), but still a long way off from both Safari and Firefox. I use Firefox at home and Safari at work. Can't see Chrome winning me over but to be fair, it is early days! I like what Google does with its apps so there may be hope yet.
