Chrome First Impressions

What strikes me about Chrome is that it feels like a browser designed from the ground up in the post-"I keep a million tabs open all the time, some of which are more like applications than pages"-era (which is rather explicitly what it is, so perhaps that's what put the idea in my head...). Anyhow, very snappy switching between tabs, and the tabs on top UI has made me happily do something I've always hated, running the browser window maximized. Basically, doing this with Chrome puts the tabs right at the top of the screen, which, in accordance with Fitt's Law, makes them easier to hit.

But is it worth the advertising you're going to get? I'm going to stick with Firefox for now...
