The new beta version should get some Firefox users to switch now that it has extensions I would imagine. You can download the <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=mac" target="_blank">latest beta version here</a>, and if you currently are using Chrome, they expect an automatic update within the next few days. Still not sure? Check out the Macworld run through of the latest beta <a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/146354/2010/02/chromebeta2.html?lsrc=rss_main" target="_blank">here</a>.&nbsp;</p>

I know that it's beta, but I have pretty much switched to Chrome. It has it's pluses and minuses, but it loads faster than Safari, uses less RAM, and has extension support.
