    I am also a fan of Google Chrome, but from my use I can see it is not for everyone.

    It does handle the history feature a little odd. Not as nice as its competitors. Also the bookmarks could use a little work.

    But the url bar is king :) and the styling is minimal.

    This is exactly how I feel.

    Although I'm warming up to bing for video searches.

    another thing I'm warming up to is Sleipnir browser (supports Trident and Gecko). With a little refinement it might finally be the browser that competes with IE on my machines.
