I have to say, that while I'm not normally excited by new browsers, having read all Google's nice techie cartoon explaining some of the under the hood stuff, I'm very much liking the sounds of this. The virtual machine / compiled javascript sounds very powerful indeed, and the fact that every tab is it's own process ought to tame those web-sites with eloborate flash elements that pretty much freeze up Firefox. And the fact that you can break a web-app out of the browser sounds v. sensible indeed.

Oh, and it seems to be at least as fast as every other browser. Hurrah!
It looks okay and I am glad it doesn't cache tasks, i.e. one task in every tab. Memory hogging is the Achilles heel of Firefox.
It's still a way off being complete though. It crashed when I tried to import bookmarks.
