Only for suitable values of "support". I have the dev channel build here, and what is there is the beginnings of something that might be useful down the road, but is of limited value now.

arg2 : since the update, chrome windows don't scroll smoothly when using the mouse wheel. instead the visible portion "jumps" up or down and the display duplicates portions of the page. so you think you're clicking on one thing but in fact you're clicking on something else entirely. this may drive me INSANE.  i hope google is working on fixing this even as we speak, because there is no excuse for it, and it's enough to make me stop using chrome altogether.

Chrome is a work in progress. I keep it around for testing and seeing what the Google devs are up to, but it doesn't meet my needs as a production browser.
Folks like it because it's fast, which apparently translates as "fast to load", since I see no real difference in rendering speed on pages between it an FF once it is up. Yeah, it loads faster than FF, but that's important only if you have bad habits picked up from using IE on Windows. IE is effectively part of the OS on Windows, and invokes quickly indeed, so people routinely load it, visit a link, exit, load it again... I invoke FF once when I first sit down and
leave it running. It's quite quick to open in that case, thank you, when I do something like click a URL sent in email...
Chrome annoyed me mightily when I first looked at it because it offered to import existing FF bookmarks. All very well, but I have multiple FF profiles with two separate sets of bookmarks. It didn't ask which I wanted: it imported and merged
both, and I couldn't find a way to
delete the unwanted entries. It's gotten better since, but still has a way to go for my purposes.
