Google Chrome is out ...

http://www.google.com/chrome

And heck I like it. What exactly?
1. Minimalist UI ala Safari
2. No "menu" bar
3. Good use of title bar for tabs - saved space
4. Seems pretty fast or maybe that's just the late night broadband peaking up :)
5. Great address auto-complete - only pages that you actually typed show up
6. Maintains the firefox short-cuts
7. Simple blue and white theme is nice and soothing
8. Default page rocks - ulti cool use of history

Great to see engineers taking KISS seriously in this day and age of "features"
