I'm posting this from Chrome. My thoughts:

Renders well, renders fast.
Looks pretty good... it's not as pretty as OS X, but it isn't the barren wasteland of bland that is Firefox.
Tabs in separate processes! IE 8 is doing this as well, so Chrome isn't alone, but it's still nice. The Firefox devs, quite honestly, need to get off their asses and realize that non-threaded tabs are simply unacceptable.
Task manager is nifty. You can see how much resources any given tab is consuming.
Looks to be very stable: I tried to simulate a plugin crash by killing the plugin from Chrome's task manager while watching a youtube video, and it handled it EXTREMELY gracefully. The page didn't freak out, it simply stopped playing the video, and the browser displayed a notification that the Flash plugin had crashed.

Overall, I'd say this blows Firefox out of the water, and is even better than IE. Its only weakness is that the UI is a bit too minimalist, and that there isn't built-in RSS support. Hopefully that will be fixed, though.

I haven't used other minority browsers like Opera, Safari, etc... but neither IE nor Firefox is meaningful competition for Chrome at this point. They got their butts whipped good.

I'm using it to view this thread. It kicks arse, I deleted Firefox.

Awful. The UI is terrible, there are virtually no settings to change, although it is pretty slick.
