I've been tinkering with it since it was released.
Like others have said, it's lightweight and fast; however, too lightweight for my liking. By lightweight I mean I can't tweak certain things because there's no control for the tweak. For example, there's a great stealth browsing mode that doesn't keep track of where you've been. Unfortunately, you can't make that the default mode at startup. If you don't enter that mode and you start browsing, it shows it's a Google product, this default mode keeps track of everywhere you been. Deleting stuff from this mode is a major PIA.
Additionally, I have no idea if this thing is safe or not. With IE, including it's warts, you at least know it has problems and that one needs to keep it updated and to use one more separate anti-virus products, etc. Firefox has all those plug-ins available that shut down a lot of the junk. This one is simply too new yet.
That's about where I'm at with it.
