Why? Faster and Features.
JavaScript is 56 times faster on Chrome The genius behind Google’s web browser (re-tweeted by Douglas Purdy from John Lam), V8 JavaScript Engine.
Features I like, ‘Close tabs to the right’, dragging a tab off the browser to another or make it stand alone and Most visited sites when I bring up a new tab.

Chrome spoiled my trial of IE 8. I’ve moved to Chrome as my primary browser and I’m not enjoying the IE 8 experience on Windows 7. I do have to try the RTM version yet(the Windows 7 version is still a beta version).
Chrome is just a nice, fast, lean browser that starts up quickly. Simple and easy.
I go back and forth between Chrome and Firefox, just because I’ve grown so dependant upon FF’s ‘Delicious Links’ plugin. I work on way too many computers, if I actually tried to keep my bookmarks on them all in sync I’d spend too much of my work on that alone. If Chrome could ever take that off my plate the way Firefox did, I’d happily kick every other browser to the curb. (Although I’ll probably still need Firefox and it’s blessed ‘IETab’ for stuff that only works in IE, but that’s another story.)
