Google Chrome - any good?

Has anyone checked out google chrome? One magazine I read describes it as "the best browser in the world"

It's not bad.

It's slightly faster than IE, Firefox and Safari, looks quite nice plus has a better tab system. However, it lacks the functionality you get through Firefox addons and themes so it falls into the same league as IE and Safari - bland browsers.

If you just want to surf the web without messing about with addons and customising your browser then give it a try.

I'd use it more if I could get the BBC radio iPlayer to work on it.

some other add-ons!

I find it crashes a lot when using java/flash thingys. Of course, that may just be my crappy computer as well.

Like what? I think I only lost the RealPlayer video downloader, but there are alternatives to that one.
