I've been using it for a couple of days now with no problems. I've set it as my default browser.

i found it, in the top right theres spanner to access controls, it's white on grey so i didn't see it at first.

Theres not much to set though.

I want links I click on to open in a new tab, and it to switch to that tab as active.

i still like firefox better.

the only thing i've heard that makes chrome better is that it crashes better. tallest midget.

It also renders every page I visit faster than firefox. It is especially noticeable on complicated pages.

I can't get reasonable mouse gestures on Chrome. And I prefer my bookmarks as a sidebar (best use of space on a widescreen monitor, imo). So I'm still giving Firefox my business.

Yeah, I always run out of room on the screen north to south, never east to west, so I keep the crap at the top and bottom to an absolute minimum.

How do I make my bookmarks on the side?

You can't, on chrome.
On FF, you press ctrl+B or view->sidebar->bookmarks.

IE9 will be introduced in a week or so.;)

Ah yes, clever.

Is that the version where all your financial info is automatically downloaded to hackers in Russia so you don't have to go through the trouble of having a virus infect your computer first?

I still have IE6

i have a couple sites i need for work that won't work with anything later.

You're not the only one, much of corporate America does too.

It's thought to be at the center of the Chinese hacker attack a few months ago.

Avoid.

In a corporate environment you can't avoid. You haven't the ability to change anything, in most cases everything is locked down so you can't do anything but use what they give you.
