Playing with Chrome

I'm testing out the newest version of Chrome.  They've continued the use of themes first seen on iGoogle, some of them look very much like Firefox Personas.  Here I am wearing the brushed look:

And here we are with pencil shading:

and some of their designer themes...

Of course it's not all about looks.  Chrome is fast and easy to use, installation was painless and it imported all of my bookmarks (along with browsing history and saved passwords, if you choose) so the browser was ready to use and felt homey straight away.  It incorporates a lot of the addons I use anyway on Firefox: Google toolbar, obviously, but also opening a new tab (see two examples above) allows you to view a thumbnail of all the tabs you have open- a bit like Fox Tab.  

I've decided to give it a proper test, so I'll be using it all day.  I was just so impressed with how easily I settled into it that I wanted share right away.  I'd used Chrome in the past, but didn't really see what the fuss was all about.  I'm a Firefox girl at heart, but this a great alternative option.
