Rob Cottingham at Noise to Signal captured the first reaction of many web developers:

It is nice tho.

I”m now using chrome as my preferred browser.

Its blindingly fast, seems to be fairly stable, and I like the interface better.

It also loads/starts up REALLY fast - unlike the eons of waiting for firefox to start up.

Hi Ashleigh,

Yeah, yeah, yeah I’m sure it’s a magnificent browser. It’s just that testing new websites is about to become an order of magnitude harder. At the moment there are enough differences between Firefox 3, Firefox 4, IE6, IE7, and now a newcomer - aaaaarrgghh!

Cheers — Mike
