The current trend for switching to Chrome reminds me a lot of how people jump on Apple products. Apple products are very well presented, look good, have pretty graphics and a good user interface but it's all smoke and mirrors to cover, what I feel, to be inferior products. The same applies to Chrome. It looks good and has lots of eye candy like how new tabs slide in to existence (the actual tab that is) and how the thumbnails slide to the text version in the new tab screen. It also had all the wonderful sales pitch about having a faster JavaScript engine, everything being run separate so a crash will not crash the whole browser. But all this is also smoke and mirrors. Another way that Chrome reminds me of the first iPhone was that whilst it had all this power it didn't have the basic features that products of that nature should have. With the iPhone it lacked sending MMS messages, sending SMS to multiple contacts and other basics most phones have. With Chrome it is missing basic browser features such as black/white listing cookie domains, setting a cache size and so on.
I'm not sure but does Chrome silently update it's self like other Google products? That has always been something that put me off Google products. I want to be informed there is a new version and given the option of updating and not just have the program quietly update it's self with no notification at all.
Anyway I say try all browsers for about a week each then pick the one you feel most comfortable with. You have so many to chose from now it's mad. Firefox, Chrome, Opera, IE, SeaMonkey, Safari, Flock, Chromium, Iron, K-Meleon, QT-Web Avant, Maxthon, and more.
