Reiterating my love for this browser. It loads pages much faster than Firefox 3.0. The tabs are a pleasure to use, and I actually really like how when you make a new tab, it shows you your most visited websites, plus a list of recent bookmarks - at first I was a bit wary of the lack of a bookmarks drop down list, but making a new tab only to be shown a list of recent bookmarks to click on it, is a terrific and very clever design decision. It's the little things like that, that really makes me appreciate this browser.
I don't care about the technical side of things - I'm not a programmer or web designer - I'm just a simple internet user who wants to surf the web. And that applies to 99% of Chrome users. For them, this browser is brilliant in every way.
Thing is, the "recent documents" thing and drop downs is really, really easy to implement. It seems your main "bonus points" seem to be that it loads faster - fair enough, that is indeed nice. But your claims to ignorance concerning being a designer or developer, these things will land you in hot water later if by your choice you go one way or another. Its the same as other people who claim to be ignorant of the politics of anything - it still affects you, whether you choose to accept it or not.
Google will already have a good idea of what you search for, purely from google.com. The browser just takes it one step further and allows it to gather all your passwords in one convenient place. The EULA itself is fairly dodgy, no open source piece of software requires a EULA, and as it is open source, it (should be) fairly easy to remove. In the meantime, you've given all of your details to a company - not a foundation like Mozilla, and by supporting their browser (by downloading and using it) you are supporting them, which means mozilla will lose market share and investment from Google.
We already have one evil corporation trying to dip its' fingers into every pie in town... do we need another?
And as for "same as 99% of other Chrome users", well, IE already does all that. It might be faster, but by even trying a different browser, you've seperated yourself from the herd.
Unfortunately, its all political, its got nothing to do with the software :S
