    Well.i got that version.but i don’t really see any difference.
    i hope that google company will keep on and continue developing.The most important missing part of it is the add ons.if they were added, it can beat firefox ;)

    @Meena Bassem:

    yeah, but the thing is, nothing has changed except for the version numbers, i see builds going up. but no RSS support and no built in support for plugins (or full support at least).

    I still prefer FF 3.5

    Firefox is still the best browser. Chrome need developers for add-ons.
