It's not there yet but is supposed to be release today (2nd September). So probably sometime during our evening or nighttime.

It should be at http://www.google.com/chrome later on.

Here's their 40 page cartoon book they sent around.

It's ok. I am so used to firefox that I can't just switch over but I will try and use it now and then to see how it reacts while surfing and doing other things. Its only the beta version so there will be bugs and some annoying things in it I am sure.

Not using it as a main browser - Firefox+addons is still best.
I can't live without Adblock and NoScript anymore - and honestly, i really doubt Google would ever let something like Adblock on Chrome

But i have it installed for Java and Flash apps - whenever i find browser Java or flash games, i open them in Chrome - they load and work much better on Chrome than on Firefox.

Just make sure you read the small print when you install it.

They already changed point 11 of their Terms and Conditions once, because people complained about their total lack of respect for copyright.

But it will - Sergei Brin is a Mac user, so i kinda doubt he'll want to keep using his own company's product in VMWare

A Linux port is already in works, it can be seen on the development forums.
