there's some people spewing very technical reasons why chrome would not work. from a users perspective, i don't notice or care about those things; chromium still looks a lot better.
if you want to be a prick then you can say chromium is using different kits and it does not have as much visible support as firefox, however its honestly not going to mess anything up or even have visible compatibility problems for at least the next 3 years.

But you have to remember, they're still a multinational billion dollar company. That means you have to grade on a curve. (Or don't)

I don't get why they would switch. Looks to me like another Rhythmbox to Banshee to Rhythmbox. Firefox uses less memory and is more full featured. Chrome still feels like a beta browser to me. It is nice if you only want to surf the web. But when you really embrace the web and use extensions and hundreds of tabs Chrome is a no go.
