I have bootcamp and run xp on one of my macs to test websites, but every time I switch over I become a bumbling idiot. Maybe I'll try it today.

I chromed myself twice last night. It was great.

Wait - what was this thread about?

There isn't a Linux version yet, and the computer I do most of my Web browsing on is Ubuntu, so I won't be using it too much.

I installed on my work PC, which is Windows XP. Chrome has a great minimal look and it's quite fast. Downsides are no plugs that I come to really love in Firefox. Having to switch from the browser to turn off MP3s when the phone rings is a pain.

For a beta, it's great. If they open it up to plug-ins, I'm be very happy.

Er, ya. When I first saw this thread title it jogged the dirty thoughts in my memory to some old line about oral sex, chrome and a trailer hitch.

There will be plugins.

http://www.chromeplugins.org/

I'm not sure whether there's a way to install plugins currently. Chrome is built from webkit (same as safari), so I would think it should be do-able. Then again, Google's Chrome comic book explains that current plugins fall outside Chrome's security model. They do have an API for developers to write safe plugins, if I understand correctly.
