BT Goes Chrome

Me, not British Telecom.

Since reading about how Google are going to be offering their very own operating system from next year, I've been getting a bit excited about all things Google. I already have Gmail, GoogleTalk, Google as my default search engine, Blogger (owned by Google, of course), and regularly use Google Maps so I thought I'd expand at little further by downloading Google's Internet browser, Chrome.
It looks a bit like this, with my Google home page...

...looks alright, eh? I won't go massivly into it all, as I'm no expert. But
I think I like it! It's got what now seems to be standard with all browsers, bookmarking, tabbed browsing etc. However, the tabs have an interesting "dynamic" feature which allows you to drag them so they open in a new window. Another good feature happens when you open a new tab, instead of getting a blank page you get a list of your most visited page, with recent bookmarks and a search option which all looks a bit like this...
So all in all, it's pretty good. If only I could find a flipping add-on to block the adverts like FireFox!
