Google today announced the release of their own browser which I have been using with not so many problems so far. Still it has some issues here and there:

• It can’t open PDF (and maybe other) files. You have to save those to disk and then open in Adobe Reader
• The only Java version which works with it is 1.6.0_10 which is still a Release Candidate. Installing it may break other Java applications.
• JavaScript parsing is not perfect. I have noticed that some AJAX based web application (think New Facebook interface) do not work perfectly.
• There is no Full Screen mode.

Still, the UI is better than both IE/FireFox and finally someone has put the tabs at right place (at top). Worth a try.
