I think as webmasters we should be much more wary about this browser. Google has the ability to give it significant market share, and as it is not a 100% standards compliant browser, this means yet another custom system for us to have to make our sites support.

It's also going to fragment Firefox users, increasing Microsoft's lead because they will be gaining users faster from Firefox (people who are willing to try other browsers) than from the hardcore remaining MSIE users (people who are unwilling to try other browsers).

I'm disappointed that Google have stripped away the URL bar and provide only a search bar which accepts URLs. It is blurring navigation and search too much for me to be comfortable with it. When I want to search, I want to specifically request a search; not have it guess that my typo or malformed domain should be parsed by Google as a search string.
