I'm running Chrome 7.0.517.0. There have been some occasional minor problems along the way, but the development version of Chrome is very good and bug fixes are released extremely fast for most of those problems.

This article talks about the features in 5.0.307.7, but I just installed 5.0.322.2 today. I certainly haven't noticed any problems.

If the problem is Flash games, there is a work-around to get Flash installed for Chrome. Basically, you go ahead and install it for Firefox, and then create a link to the library from the Chrome plugins directory. The library location might be different on your system, but I did: cd /opt/google/chrome/plugins ln -s /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so

I did a full switch to Chrome over lunch (importing my current bookmarks, installing an ad blocker, installing the Flash plugin). It is incredibly fast.

One Gmail open in FF and the other in Chrome works well for me. Yes, I've also got Opera on all my Linux boxes and even have Epiphany as well on one of them.
