    In Options, Under the Hood tab, "Help make Google Chrome better by automatically sending usage statistics and crash reports to Google" is checked by default... I dont have the habit of sending usage statistics, so just disabled it...

    If you want to stop your downloads starting automatically, go to "Tools >> Options >> Minor Tweaks"

    Playing around with it now and it seems pretty nifty.

    You can actually drag and drop tabs/bookmarking from Firefox to Chrome.

    Pretty freakin' neat.

    I'm working on putting together a Chrome Browser FAQs Wiki type of site. What are some good FAQs to put on the site? I'll give credit to those who help as well.

    I don't think it has the capability of Firebug, as you cannot edit CSS or add properties etc.

    I did immediately notice that font size can be changed via the keyboard (ala Firefox) -- CTRL+/CTRL- when using this Browser (ala Firefox). It also correctly renders XHTML served as content (MIME) Type application/xhtml+xml.

    This is the start of Google OS... Virtual Computers where you don't need to carry laptops around anymore. You can simply go to any computer terminal hooked up to the internet and access your account and load all your desktop files, folders, settings everything you do on a computer now and when your done, you save your work and log off.

    When on a website how can you view the full title tag? as I like to see this articulary after I have edited a page, but it just shows part of it.

    Well, it's quite fast. I'll say this easily shuts the other browsers up in terms of speed. And doesn't eat resources madly either. I'm very impressed with this browser overall. Once it gets extensions, surely this will be the end-all browser in my book.
