Google Chrome is a web browser project by Google. It was leaked yesterday, and Google held a press conference to announce the launch of Chrome. With Chrome, Google hopes to bring the best of various browsers and code, like Firefox and WebKit (WebKit is used by Safari too).
First impressions
Google Chrome is so unobtrusive it almost isn’t even there – a clear design choice by Google, which has just a tiny, semi-transparent logo above the tabs, running along the top of the screen. There’s no status bar, although another semi-transparent tab appears at the bottom of the screen showing the status of loading pages. Chrome is smooth, well refined (as of limited usage I have done) and manages the migration process flawlessly by importing every bit of important data from IE or Firefox. The innovative placement of tab bar, lack of title bar (that’s right, no title bar for Chrome), omnibar (that is what Google calls Chrome’s search-cum-address bar) are all a fresh breath of life in an otherwise plain browser. Currently, there are no extension capabilities to rival those offered by Firefox, and that is one reason why Firefox users will not hurry to Chrome full time. Notice that I say “full-time”, because Chrome makes a very compelling case as a casual browser – lack of extensions notwithstanding.

The installer file downloaded from Google Chrome website is only ~500 KB in size, but launching it downloads the actual Chrome installer (~7MB) from Google servers. 
Importing settings is very straightforward, and reminds the import process of Firefox. 
Starting up the browser gives you a page like this:
