But it's funny - it does not render CSS as FF2 (my usual browser), but I'm not sure if Firefox changed how they render CSS in FF3 ?? My own site - which I do know have some CSS problems - were rendered as it usually is in IE 6 and 7. So is Chrome based on FF3's rendering engine - and was that engine changed after FF2?

that makes sense. but won’t there always be a need for a physical surface for the user to interface with the cloud?

I just installed it and the first 5 minutes we're amazing: download and installation were really fast, and when the browser appeared I wondered "that was everything?". I like the clean and simple look, although I hope that they'll give users the chance to change the color of the bar (grey would suffice, I'm not a fan of Google's color palette). Some things were a bit irritating but know I made it my main browser. I don't miss anything from Firefox. The new "omnibar" is awesome, and that "recently browsed" site, when you're opening a new tab is really comfortable. For the info: Chrome features a Home Button, too - you can set it up in the options. Their "first steps"-page helped a lot during the first minutes: http://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en-US/welcome.html I don't know if it's a good development that google becomes bigger and bigger and "invades" new markets like Mobile OS and Browsers, but as long as they keep releasing high quality open source programs and sharing their APIs, I cannot resist their stuff. It's always easy to use, simple and intuitive. I read that comic about chrome just yesterday and was excited to try Chrome.
