It appears that Google scored a PR success with their Chrome browser. In short, the promise is a web experience where web pages are allowed to behave more like desktop applications. This is done by boosting the abilities of common web pages in terms of performance, while also allowing 'plugins' to enrich the user experience of certain other pages. As it seems, the announcement shot at the heads of people who've been holding their breath for the fabled Google Operating System. However in the following text I will demonstrate that Chrome [based on what we are allowed to know] puts strain on the Designer and Developer communities, is not innovative (save for one feature), and copies ideas liberally from Google's worst enemy.

Oh my days, talk about jump the gun.
The whole thing is open source, all of it.
Anybody can add an AdBlock extension however they please.
Your "fork it" attitude is totally disrespectful to the hard work the engineers have done giving all this away for free. In case you hadn't realised, a Linux version is on its way.
The privacy in Chrome is actually very good (*way* better than IE), but then, you didn't bother to actually research that.
