Google Chrome is an open source browser with many hints being made that it will be a complete system. Google Chrome runs on what are called tabbed sessions with separate processes so that if there is a crashed process, the rest of the browser will not shutdown.
According to Zdnet, " (Chrome) adds a task manager and a hierarchical process controller. It also has Gears, allowing web apps to work offline, plus multiple innovations in garbage collection, security and user interfaces - including a nine-pane automated favorites page, where the browser keeps your most-visited pages front and centre."
Google Chrome will have automated test system known as Chrome Bot which will help with selections. Google is hoping to emulate and do better than Mozilla Firefox and Webkit as an open source browser application.

I trust Google to be honest as much as I trust Hummingbird.

Yrrah - here's a prediction. Try it, and I predict that you will soon abandon K-Meleon.
It is fast (loading), and it is open source (unlike MS browsers). You can, if you choose, scrutinize the code. And if my reading of the Chrome Comic book (http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html) is correct, Chrome has a potential of being much safer than K-meleon or FF.

Things can rapidly change. And it's Google's vested interest to see that this will be the situation with Chrome.

Pretty sure I've made that clear at this point in other posts.

Well, I'll put it this way. I'm not going to be using the Google Browser.

I downloaded it, and use it. My main criticism is there is no java plugin for it. At least on my computer it tried to download one, and couldn't find it! Otherwise, it seems to use less system resources than other browsers, and is stable and fast. This is important to me, as I stream video, from camstreams.com (http://www.ud233.camstreams.com). The browser has been running all day, in order to keep my stream listed on the people index page. So far, nary a glitch!

Google Chrome Download Vulnerability added September 3, 2008 at 01:52 pm
US-CERT is aware of a vulnerability that affects the Google Chrome web browser. This vulnerability is due to a default configuration that allows files to be downloaded without prompting the user. In addition, downloaded files can be opened with a single click, which could allow a user to inadvertently open a malicious file.
US-CERT encourages users to enable the "Ask where to save each file before downloading" option within the "Minor Tweaks" tab in the browser preferences. Although this does not fix the underlying vulnerability, selecting this option will warn the user before files are downloaded. Users should still exercise caution when visiting and downloading items from untrusted websites.
US-CERT will provide additional information as it becomes available.
