Neat browser, but it's lacking specific features that I constantly use, such as smooth scrolling and the scroll wheel click-scroll mode, proper caching, mouse gestures, and a non-evil-seeming agreement.
Other than that, slick piece of software.

I'm not picky about a jumpy scroll so thats one more thing I don't miss. I actually hated when I would accidentally push in the scroll wheel. It was annoying as hell.
Unless your writing E-Books I really don't think you have much to worry about with google's "policy". Honestly if I write something on the internet, it's public. I don't care. If some creep at google wants to track down my chrome installation and view what I've been looking at then good for them. I could care less.
I posted this when it first came out on a car forum. Here's what I said after a few people posted some things they didn't like:

I'm a professional web developer and I find it perfect. I run a top of the line laptop with a 17" screen and a secondary 19" screen. My screen resolution is 1440x900 on both screens at the very least. I depend on my workspace while working. Without the help of tabs I'm forced to work a lot slower. At any given time I normally have 10 pages all open, active and being used.
Features like the anti crash feature where only one tab closes save me a lot of time. I work with a lot of "rich" websites and the multi-threading really seems to hit home and I can see on those pages how its faster then firefox.
I can't say I ever use a sidebar because I find they take away from my work area. I do use bookmarks as well as quick link folders. Chrome makes it really easy to use both of these so I'm sold there as well.
I don't mess with security settings for browsers. Generally I go with the least security possible because when I work I know exactly what I'm getting into and I know exactly what to avoid. That's why I also don't run antivirus or anti spyware programs. I have them but the process's are locked out unless I turn them on.

I just said that, hex. Scroll up.
By the way, I hope you know that things like passwords and private stuff count too.

I'm using chrome to post this post 
The only problems I can see with it are the forced UI (horrible Vista aero blue), lack of good'ol addons and the fact that Google is a large corporation.

Testing out Chrome at the moment, other than a handful of sites that don't work properly in Chrome (and they do in Firefox, so its not a case of them being sites designed by morons who have never noticed that IE is not the only browser in the world), it seems pretty good. However, for the moment I will most likely continue to use Firefox as my main browser, as Chrome lacks the addons to do a lot of the stuff my Firefox addons do.
Also, on that note: Where the hell do you even GET addons for Chrome? I can't find a site for them anywhere...
Oh, and a final comment: Dynamically resizing text areas is VERY useful... even if it does tend to break the site layout on a lot of sites that depend on the size being fixed... perhaps extending it should simply float over the other content on the page instead.
