Much as I am surprised (confused!) with the name of this new browser from Google, I have to tell that so far, it has enabled me to have great browsing experience. The key difference is the browsing and page-loading speeds. It is perceptibly fast, compared to other alternatives, explorer and firefox (I have been using both). I watch a lot of videos and movies online and with Chrome, the download goes definitely fast (I have tested it). Similarly, there has been a remarkable reduction in my waiting time for a web page to open. Other time-saving and useful option is its integrated search feature with the address bar. The recently visited pages appear when you open the browser which again means less typing.
So much for the simple stuff. On a more techie note, I recommend everyone to go through the Chrome presentation (know more about Chrome) on its website. Its nicely done with use of sketches of real google developers. How every Chrome tab is not just a task but a process with its own memory convinced me of its better anti-crash features. No wonder, I have never experience a single crash so far.
Chrome does fail to load some web-pages, especially where pop-ups are intrinsic to their page contents. But they are minor nuisances compared with the overall great browsing experience it provides. It is elegant and simple, with a lot of technology in the background. Try Chrome and you will understand what I mean.
P.S. - In case you were wondering, I am neither anti-Microsoft nor anti-Google or anti-anything. I am just a simple user in the middle, trying to use the best products.

I was unhappy with Chrome. The page loads damn slow if it has a flash player. Hogs lot of memory. Even its USP of 'keeping its tabs independent of each other' doesn't seem to work as the complete browser freezes.
@ancientmariner,
tabs hog lot of memory is right. however, concerning the page crashes, I never experienced complete browser crashes so far, only an unresponsive flash player sometimes (which usually becomes ok if I choose to wait). guess diff people have diff experiences always - i am still using Chrome!
