I love Google, I love the way they come up with new innovations, and I love the way that when they realize an innovation isn’t panning out, they abandon it (see the Google Browser Sync).  With that said, I’m not terribly excited about Google Chrome.

The world doesn’t really need a new web browser.

Firefox is an awesome browser.  IE 8 sounds like it will be pretty good.  The Mac has Safari (although I find it pretty crappy), then there’s Opera the also-ran.

We really need another choice that does a bunch of different things in its own way?  Really?

I’m totally happy rocking Firefox as my sole browser.  I’ve got IE 7 installed on my machine, but I rarely use it unless I’m testing.  I have a virtual machine that runs IE 6, but again it gets very rare useage.  I refuse to install Safari on my PC because the PC version has always been horribly buggy (much like all Apple software on the PC be it Quicktime or iTunes).

Worst of all, I’ve tried to install Chrome several different times on both my home and work PC’s and it gets hung up every time.

I personally feel that the world would be a better place if everyone installed Firefox and used that as their sole browser.  Version 3.0 is pretty much the most perfect web browser ever.
