Google Chrome - What is it all about?

Chrome is the newest internet browser from Google.  So not only  can you use google for all your popular searches, not they have created their own browser.  A beta version was released this past tuesday for mac.  it is lacking some features that it counterpart on windows has, such as bookmark sync, bookmark manager, and office capability.  But I assume these will be coming soon for the mac version.  I have read numerous article on the mac version of chrome and I will hold off testing it until it has more features.
