After years of rumors about Google releasing a web browser, the wait is finally over and the rumors were true.  First off, it has a very clean look.  Right off the back I noticed it put the “tabs” at the top of the browser window which seems to be an excellent place for it.

I noticed that it remembers all of your search history and visually displays in a 9-box grid when you open the browser by default, you can change it to go to a homepage, personally I like how it handles the browsing history being that my homepage is Google.  Now the address bar is now has multi-functions.  When you place a search or URL into it, Chrome searches your web history, bookmarks first to see if you have a match before you have to actually do a search.

Another nice feature is the “Incognito Mode” (Ctrl+Shift+N) which allow you to do searching that does not leave an entry in your search history.  With Google being a search engine, I was hoping this feature would be included and it was.

At the time of this writing the Windows XP/VIsta version was the only one available for download, if you use a Mac, please make sure to sign-up so they know the demand is out there for this and a Linux version.  Last is the fact that the browser renders very quick and is responsive.   Try it out and make sure to read Chrome’s Terms of Service so you know what your agreeing too.
