I was very impressed with Google Chrome and enjoy using it, however I just had to switch to Apple Safari. Both are based on Webkit and I believe that Webkit is the best rendering engine for any web browser. Apple does have it’s reputation for the iPhone being still the most popular and unmatched mobile device. Apple Safari, even though Firefox took control, has been gaining more market share then ever and Google Chrome as well. My point is, Apple Safari should be the king of all web browsers when it comes to ease of use, performance, and speed. Google Chrome definitely takes over speed, however when it comes to their UI and structure of their web browser, Safari takes the lead.

Let's wait and see what more will it bring as further development proceeds. Well Google Chrome has brough new standards to browsers, the V8 engine and tabs “sandbox” concepts are brilliant.

It’s IE vs. Javascript. At least Chrome might spur a lazy industry into conforming to standards and treating web applications as first-class citizens.  Our web apps will access our systems like desktop applications. We get Gears baked in (note the lack of “Google” prefix — it’s now simply “of the web”) and if you’ve read the fine-print closely, you already know that this means that Chrome will be a self-updating, self-healing browser. This means that the web will rev at the speed of the frameworks and the specifications, and will no longer be tied to the monopoly player’s broken rendering engine.  ~Chris Messina [...] [...] Microsoft is no doubt worried, shit-in-their-pants worried.  Suddenly the game is not Silverlight vs. Flash.

I guess I should have phrased it differently as I meant it the other way round, i.e. that AFAIK Chrome and Safari have the WebKit in common only (which is a lot already, but not everything that makes Chrome). All in all, chances are that Safari, Firefox, Konqueror, Epiphany, IE etc. will catch-up with Chrome's concepts regarding better stability and speed, though rather in an evolutionary than revolutionary way. That is, they'll have to, in order to not vanish. We probably all agree that webapps will play a major role in the forseeable future of the web, not just content. Not even Microsoft is powerful enough to stop this tendency. @Félicien Breton: I know the history of WebKit.
