So it does work apparently?

Make webapp shortcut thing is cool I did it to itT and it opens it up with no address bar or anything so you get plenty of space for the site. Plus Give a nice desktop icon, and it uses the favicon as the icon.
Edit: here is another plus its not my default browser and it doesn't ask me everytime I open it if I would like to make it my default.

Yes, it is faster than firefox, and cleaner looking but...
Weird Parts:
scalable text input boxes (wth, why??)
Instead of typing in a tiny box in the middle of your big screen, you can enlarge it to better see what you're writing, word-processor-like... I use an extension in FF to the same effect.

EDIT: Of course that doesn't stop IE8 beta 2 to offer you a brand new default browser

Maybe its a linux thing or you reinstall too often

Like many of you, I've been playing with Chrome and found it a really soliod first effort for Google. I use Opera 9.5 on ym home desktop and so its kinda neat running these side by side and seeing Google be ever so faster in different operations.
V8 would be great on the IT. Considering how Chrome is built, its not too far a thought see it being literally the OS for a netbook/UMPC/Internet Tablet kinda of device. Its pretty much got the web performance issues nailed down to be a non-issue (unless the site's broken that is).

Where is the home button? - (Fixed: Keep Reading the thread)
No java plugin!!!
Cannot resize webpage, only text (IE7 and FF3 have this feature)
info boxes (when hovering over a link) display in the bottom- very annoying
AwesomeBar kicks Omnibar's a55
No plugins yet...
NO LINUX
But the good parts:
Fast
Nice tab engine
Nice javascript
"Create webapp" button (cool!!)
Gears built in
Weird Parts:
scalable text input boxes (wth, why??)
Underlines wrong spelling, but does not give spelling suggestions on right click...
Edit: Over 90 ppl looking at this thread, lol
