I have had slow loading of web pages on internet explorer since I had interleaving turned off. Yet with chrome I get fast loading of pages. If its just the pre fetching of dns then not much of an advantage on firefox or microsoft. just had a play with chrome.

I do, however, like where they're trying to go with Chrome (esp. website crashes, only that tab goes down, not the whole browser) - will be interesting to see it in practice. It will take some time to get it as personalised as Firefox though. In my briefest of tests, Chrome seemed quite sluggish.

I personally am not all that excited by Google's Chrome. Yep, it loads web pages, and reasonably fast too. But I have customised Firefox in ways that just aren't (yet) possible with Chrome. So while I've enjoyed having a play with Google's new app, I'll stick with Firefox until one of the other browsers creates a more compelling reason why I should move. I'm not being a luddite, I just don't need to move to something that offers me less. Chrome has potential but Firefox is still the Swiss army knife of browsers for me.
