Chrome if You Want To

Any of you try Google's Chrome browser? I downloaded it the day it came out, but never really gave it much of a chance. Then, after noticing my tech-forward brother using it on his laptop when he was in town to help me apartment hunt, I decided to revisit it. I kinda like it. I didn't want to -- my "I don't want Google to rule every aspect of my life" chip on my shoulder was definitely intact, but it really is, for lack of a better word, different. The "non" home page threw me for a loop at first, but now I kind of like the way it just puts all of your recently visited sites on there to choose from. (I think I added a "Open the Home Page" button, which is useful.) And the way it downloads things -- such as photos -- right there on the page for you to open is cool, too.

But as was the case with the new-and-improved Firefox, I still DO NOT GET the point of tabs. They simply ADD an extra step when you Alt-Tab from program to program -- say from a Word document back to Chrome -- forcing you to then find which of your open tabs you want and to to that, when having a bunch of OPEN WINDOWS allows you to simply Alt-Tab to the window you wanted in the first place

Anyone else try Chrome?
