There’s been what I would describe as “mass press overload” on Google Chrome since it’s release a day or 2 ago (depending on time zones). So I thought I’d join in 
And yes – I’m currently posting this from Chrome, running on Windows Vista.
Unfortunately, I can’t try it out on Ubuntu just yet, as there’s no Linux builds, and trying to build it from source won’t work, many have tried. People were hopeful that it would run in wine…No dice. So we’ll just have to wait. Until then, I can continue merging and moving threads about on the forums. Which have been literally inundated with threads regarding the browser, so there is now a “Google Chrome MegaThread” :p
I have to say, I actually quite like it…now that the EULA has been revised that is. And it renders very quickly (Yes – faster than Safari, which according to Apple is “the fastest, easiest-to-use web browser in the world” – perhaps they should rethink that statement?).
As this blog seems to be getting a lot of hits still concerning Acid3, I tried Google Chrome from the same acid test website. And it gets….78/100! I think that’s pretty respectable, though it fails the LinkTest (screenshot supplied below).
Anyway – more on this later, possibly when there’s major improvements or a Linux version 
Update: I forgot to add the screenshot of the Acid test, here it is!

You didn’t google enough.

I tried Acid3 on the day it came out, was the first thing I tried and it got 100%. I think it’s just that the link test is an external link which is simply overloaded.
In fact, I find Chrome pretty good under Ubuntu…
yes, it runs with Wine, just install riched20 and riched30 tricks from Winetricks script, and here you are!
It runs pretty smoothly, but the fonts (as in most Wine apps) look horrible. It is really fast and performing , and renders web pages way faster than Firefox.
Only complaint: no Adblock…
While I quite like chrome, it has no excuse for not passing acid3 since webkit does it nicely.
Just in case you want to try it out (it works but is pretty broken):

Well as of yesterday it wouldn’t run in Wine. I guess I’ll have to give it another go
I have posted a detailed tutorial on how to get Chrome to work with wine: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/2008/09/install-google-chrome-on-linux-using-wine.html
