Google Chrome is a new open source web browser that the folks from Google developed. The main innovation under the hood is the way the User Interface is built around TABS, which fully replace the title bar.

The browser is build around SEARCHING, at each step you are invited to perform a search (for bookmarks, history, etc.) with the help of Google Search of course :)

The User Interface is a mixture of Opera and Firefox. It borrows good ideas from both (address bar functionality from Firefox 3 and bookmarks in blank tabs from Opera for example).

The browser uses the WebKit (same open source technology that powers Safari and other web browsers), so it should be quite fast.

As if the web browser market wouldn't be crowded enough with Internet explorer 6, Internet explorer 7, Internet explorer 8 beta, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Safari, Opera, Camino, Konqueror.. and so on, Google Chrome arrived just in time to make your decision of which browser to use even harder. They should keep funding Firefox in my opinion and let the web browser development to Mozilla.

Google Chrome is a natural step in the evolution of Google Products, considering the fact that it is built around Google Search (it invites you to use the search much more than any other browser). More searches means more $ for Google.
