Good point re: adblock/flashblock plugin. I can't see why something like that would ever be blocked - after all, it is an open-source browser. I did have a similar thought: when I installed Chrome I was expecting to see more 'Google only' restrictions. For example- a search that can only use Google, or adverts for other Google products (GMail etc.), but I didn't see anything like that.. It appears to be very clean and liberal. Google said that Chrome is an attempt to gain some of the market Mircrosoft has with their IE browsers (something like 75%), but in reality I think that Chrome will (sadly) only reduce Mozilla's market share (about 20% currently). At the end of the day Chrome has raised the bar, and I'll support them for doing so. Hey Sean!

I've been using Chrome for the last few days and I like it a lot. The minimalist style is really appealing. A lack of plugins I can't live without is probably the only real barrier to giving up Firefox though. I wonder if they will ever support an adblock/flashblock plugin - since Google makes all its revenue off ads? I agree with you about not really needing another web-browser though - like what is the niche user market for Chrome - if the Geeks swear by Firefox or Opera and the majority just use whatever their default OS browser is...
