Nice clean new look. Open new tab most visited thumbnail sites are displayed.
Bad Points
Because of clean new look Chrome seems to be missing something.
General Comments
Chrome is not ready for prime time. I have used Firefox, Opera and IE browsers. I am primarily an Opera browser user. While Chrome is faster than IE I didn't see a noticeable difference over Firefox or Opera. Although Chrome has a nice clean look I have come to like my clutter. With Opera I can change and configure the browser layout many different ways. With Chrome WYSIWYG, I kept looking for the extras. Only notable feature I found was opening new tab. Chrome automatically displays thumbnail of recently visited sites. Chrome biggest problem is displaying web site properly. With the exception of Google sites it had problem loading images and freezing up on some sites. When clicking options in Chrome you get cutesy tabs labeled Basic, Minor Tweaks and Under the Hood; all of which I felt lacking. I like Google's attempt but would like them to go a few step further and give me more features and configuration options.
