I love Chrome. It is very fast and responsive. Whenever I find myself in another browser it feels like I'm wading through tar, and I can't wait to get back into Chrome. When I click the Chrome icon on my desktop it opens instantly. With other browsers, I can make a cup of coffee while waiting. I also like the minimalist interface. It's intuitive, does its job and stays out of your face.

For anyone who likes Chrome you should give Chrome Plus a try:
http://www.chromeplus.org/
It's what I use... It's just Chrome with a couple cool features tacked on. Mouse gestures and super drags* basically. Useful stuff IMO. You can also kind of draw things using the mouse gesture fuction when you're bored... I can't really explain it, you'll have to download and see for yourself.
Just as fast as regular Chrome, same minimalist interface, etc.
*You can highlight text and drag it and it'll automatically open a new window and google the term for you...
As Daemon Sin said, it is pointless arguing which is better with regard to browsers. Just down to personal preference and what your needs are.
I used to prefer Firefox before the beginning of this year, then I started using Chrome for general browsing and now prefer that.
I only use IE in the exceptional circumstances where I need to go to a website which does not support other browsers. This is, of course, the fault of the web developer, not the browser.
EDIT: Will have to take a look at Chrome Plus. 🙂
