stupid decision! They could've kept it in beta until they had linux and mac versions, and simultaneously removed the beta label on all three. Now they just look like they don't care about other platforms and probably galvanised linux firefox users against chrome.

Middle button scroll works for me in Vista 32bit, XP Pro and even in hacked Win2k Pro.

"Until i can sync bookmarks between computers, its of no interest to me"

You mean you don't put your bookmarks into an iGoogle gadget and then make iGoogle your home page? Blimey. I do, and now all my bookmarks are right there on-screen on my home PC, my laptop, my work PC, my mobile phone and any other PC or device I use. No synching required. You can use any browser you like as well.

Works a treat!

anyone else find they try out all these new browsers every time a new one gets released but just end up back on firefox a week later?

Version 1 or not, I still can't download it at work behind a firewall that needs a password. Why can't Google just provide a direct link rather than using their own downloader for no apparent reason?

Well they might think it is but after all the talk about making it easy for developers to work with, so many obvious features are missing. There's no way to tell if a page is rendering in quirks vs. standards mode. In fact all the page info dialogue box says is how many times you visited and whether the connection was secured. Half the box is empty, it might as well say in the about box

"TODO: the rest of that stuff you wanted..."

I tried out Chrome when it was first released. Kept using my usual browser (Opera) on my work PC due to the scrollwheel-up problem, but I've been using Chrome ever since on my own laptop. Never really had much cause to go back. Call me a convert!

No...
