It uses WebKit as the rendering engine, so no different to Safari or any other WebKit based browser. I presume there are other features there which will make it more useable?

The V8 Javascript engine is supposed to be the fastest around - it is about the only reason to consider Chrome. But as I can't block JavaScript by domain with Chrome, I'll be sticking with Firefox.

I prefer Safari, so minimal speed difference for me. Though the fact that it is Google and with their data policy it will not be going near my machine.

Goodness. I'm filled with apathy by this announcement.

I can't say I'm particularly enthused either. Won't go on any personal machines (Google's lack of Privacy Policies) but I'll play with it at work.
