is google chrome as good as it is advertised?

What do you have?

Google Chrome is a web browser like Internet Explorer and Firefox, it really gives only a couple of quite good benefits, the main ones being there are less toolbars (or at least they take up less of the screen) meaning you have that little more room to view websites (like no status bar at the bottom as a benefit).

The real benefit is simply the look and feel which I personally prefer, but try it out the worst that can happen is you don't like it and just get rid.
