Chrome suffers first security flaw.

On Wednesday, researchers announced a flaw in how the Google Chrome browser behaves with undefined handlers. An exploit provided as a demonstration crashes the new browser.

And on Tuesday, mere hours after Chrome was released, researcher Aviv Raff concocted a proof-of-concept demo to show how the Google browser could be made vulnerable to a carpet-bombing flaw and thus open a window for ill-intentioned hackers.

Reading Google Chrome's Fine Print.

It does not look very user/consumer friendly:

No! I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole!

"It's worth noting that the EULA is largely unenforceable because the source code of Chrome is distributed under an open license. Users could simply download the source code, compile it themselves, and use it without having to agree to Google's EULA. The terms of the BSD license under which the source code is distributed are highly permissive and impose virtually no conditions or requirements on end users."

I am sure I will at least try it when it is ready.
Unless I am convinced otherwise in the interim.

Using it right now to see what the big deal is about. Good for people who don't like buttons. I like the buttons. I do't like the way it does bookmarks either.

As for security, won't most browsers download malware if they get you to click on the click_me box?
