Here's an interesting theory that CP heard and brought up to me.
Chrome is a nascent OS. Memory management, talk of using it as an application platform. Moving towards the ever-present paradigm of "Let the applications exist online, using pooled processing power," or "cloud computing" as it's come to be called. And the most genius part? Google is using Windows as a test bed. Chrome is basically a virtual machine running on top of Windows. They're tapping millions of Windows customers to help shake out their first shot at an OS platform. That's not a bad guess as to what they're doing.

Not Taking Any Crap!

Very astute. It really makes sense because Chrome has its own task manager. If done right they could be successful. I am using Chrome right now. It is blazing fast! I like it so far...but I've only used it for five minutes.

@Alex
Chrome is based on WebKit so if you are already testing your sites on Safari (which you should be) there really is no need to also check in Chrome. |

It's not a guess, it is pretty much the stated goal. NPR interviewed a Google product manager saying as much (though not in so much in a "we'll grind Microsoft under our bootheels" way).
But first they'll have to get their office productivity Web apps to a non-suck point if they even want to have the slimmest of chances. And then offer them in a convenient way such it can been used as an enterprise solution without in any way exposes corporate information to life outside a firewall*. We're expressly forbidden from using them here at work. *They may already have that, but if so it isn't ever coming up as an option that I've seen. |

We don't (officially). But it wouldn't matter. Regardless of how identical the rendering is supposed to be, each officially supported browser gets tested separately.

Like GD said, I read about it, just like you and others have, wasn't my (totally genius) idea.
I say awesomeness - bring on the Microsoft killa.

I like Chrome so far. I like the less cluttered top portion.

Hmm. Weird. The Quick Links tab doesn't show up when I am on Lot using Chrome.
