Honestly, I tried Google Chrome and I wasn't too impressed with it.  As
far as browsers that use the WebKit rendering engine go I think Apple
Safari has the best implelmentation of it.  That would be the one I
would like to see ported to linux.

Maybe this is the problem:

Google Chrome...is Windows inside, which may be a strategic error

That's pretty interesting.  The Mac port is in an early phase and it
will 
preceed the Linux port:
