Anyone using it?

Just thought I would try it and it seems very good, installed the flash plug in and all is now fine, web pages seem to load very quickly..

Just seems that speedtest sites are slower on chrome than I.E 8 but im my eyes pages load quicker?

so far so good.....

...and you can't (and considering where Google revenues come from, probably will never be able to) block ads with it - the same you can with Firefox + Adblock Plus - hence that remains my day-to-day browser of choice.

If you're firewall/security suite supports it, like Kaspersky, you can block some ads, but nothing does it as automagicaly for most people as FF+ABP. I know all the geeks will start yelling "HOST FILE" at their screens, but normal people won't want to fart around like that.
