Just installed Chrome and was playing around with it. It seems nice and snappy. Only thing is can't find where the 'bookmarks' or 'favs' are. They are not on the default home page. Where are the bookmarks on Chrome?

Thanks AnimalMagnetism.
Bookmarks seem a bit more complicated than other browsers till you figure out how to set them with Chrome. Chrome does things a little different but that video helped out.
Chrome is fast and their tabs are similar to Opera tabs.
A new version Opera 10.51 came out that claims to be faster than Chrome. Only problem it's for Windows. They didn't upgrade the Opera version for Linux yet. Wish they would hurry up.

Chome is nice however I still prefer Opera
Chrome share gain outpaces browser rivals
by Stephen Shankland April 1, 2010 9:53 AM PDT
Google's Chrome edged up to about a quarter Firefox's share of global Web browser usage in March, a gain that outpaced its major rivals.
Chrome increased from 5.6 percent to 6.1 percent share of the browser usage from February to March, according to preliminary Net Applications statistics released Thursday. The company monitors and analyzes browser usage on a large network of Web sites.
Firefox also rose from 24.2 percent to 24.5 percent, and Safari also gained from 4.5 percent to 4.7 percent.
Opera was flat at 2.4 percent. Microsoft's Internet Explorer, though still the top browser by far in terms of usage, continued its steady decline with a drop from 61.6 percent to 60.7 percent.
The browser market is getting fiercely competitive. Safari and Chrome are joined at the hip by virtue of their common usage of the open-source WebKit foundation, but Chrome developers are pushing ahead as fast as possible.
Mozilla's Firefox had been the primary alternative browser of choice for those who wanted to move beyond Internet Explorer. Its share gains have leveled out with the arrival of Chrome, though, which has appealed to the same techno-savvy audience. Firefox is responding with new features and a new focus on performance, but the most interesting new dynamic in the browser wars is the awakening of Microsoft's slumbering IE giant.
On Wednesday, Mozilla offered an alternative quantitative view in its first Mozilla Metrics Report.
Mixing in statistics from four organizations--StatCounter, Quantcast, Gemius, and Net Applications--Mozilla concluded it's faring better than the Net Applications figures alone. "Firefox's worldwide market share [is] hovering near 30 percent," the organization said.
One other interesting statistic from a Mozilla usage study: "We found that the typical user has between two and three tabs open at any one time," though in the weeklong test one user had more than 600 tabs open.

Chrome is definitely the browser to watch. its only a year or so old, and already my primary browser after many years of firefox. Opera has always been a highly underrated browser but has never been able to rise above that 2-3% market share. I used to use Opera quite a bit back in '95 when i also had netscape and IE. Opera had tabbed browsing LONG before anyone else. I have a feeling woodie you just love to support the underdog
Been using Opera ~12 yrs and still like it better than slower FF. Just started playing around with Chrome. Chrome is nice but so far I'm just more used to Opera.
Been trying Chrome over here in China today. Google has been in the news claiming that the Chinese government is blocking access to a lot of it's stuff, like Gmail. What I've been finding is that I can't access my Gmail via IE but I can using Chrome. Sounds more like a Google conspiracy to discredit the competition.

burt-oh-my!
This is another reason I like to have a few different browsers installed. If one won't let you into some site you can always try that site with a different browser. For Windows I have IE, FF, Opera. On Linux there is FF, Opera, Chrome and SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey is a lot like the old Netscape browser from 10 yrs ago. There is always a way around censoring, even in China as you discovered.
My VPN (Witopia) gets around the usual stuff, like Blogs and Facebook, but some sites are actually slower through the VPN, like Yahoo. This morning I had no problem connecting to Gmail via IE, but then realized I had the VPN turned on.
