Personally, I don't like the idea of a web browser that automatically records what I do and sends it to Google (I don't trust them at all). While Google may have the best search engine (though I never need to use it), it's definitely one of the worst consumer-protecting companies, ever.
I love Firefox, and I'm waiting for the day the new TraceMonkey feature comes out.

If accomplished, putting Chrome on new PCs will provide millions of human-hours' worth of entertainment as people praise, protest, welcome, denigrate, curse, malign, celebrate, and wonder in blogs and forums throughout the online world. There may even be poems.

And that's before the arguments and flames begin ...

mrwarrenzhang,

I don't like Google's privacy protection either. I'd never use any device of Google's unless I were willing that every one in the world should see what I'm doing. That's why I use CustomizeGoogle, a Firefox addon which disables the Google cookie, keeps anything from getting sent to Google analytics, and disables Google advertisements. If it weren't for this addon I wouldn't use the Google search engine at all.

Still waiting for the Linux version. When will IE come in an Linux Version? Probably never.
