No Doubt Chrome has a sleek look and feel. But I am afraid I am not so impressed. Probably because I am a strong admirer of Firefox :-)
Apart from the user interface, I don't see any significant improvement in Chrome. It even has a larger memory footprint compared to Firefox. Chrome loaded the webpages slightly faster than Firefox but I guess that is because I have many Firefox addons installed which consumes some CPU cycles in Firefox.

Chrome still has some problems with rendering Unicode text. Pop-up windows render only Ansi text. Unicode is not yet supported. I guess this shall be in future versions.
Chrome uses a lot of code from Firefox. Not that I am complaining, but this makes me think if it was better for Google to simply have released a Chrome theme or may be a Chrome addon to Firefox rather than implementing a new browser all together. Of course, if in the behind the scenes source code they have made some architectural changes, then that is a completely different issue. But as such, I don't understand the point of reinventing the wheel except for a showing off of Google's capabilities. We already know and acknowledge Google's think tank. Then what is the big deal???
