Despite a bias against both Google as well as new entries into the browser market, I'm quite impressed by Chrome. More importantly, however, I feel that Google is well-positioned to drive progress in the W3C in a way that Firefox hasn't even attempted and which Microsoft was destined to fail due to fundamental disagreements in style.

Given my firm's rigid code formatting, organization and commenting standards I may seem like the person least likely to criticize standards zealots. Nevertheless, hearing terms like "web standards" or "semantic web" makes me cringe. It's not that there is anything wrong with these concepts (contrary!) so much that their proponents have become so mired in the principals that they've forgotten the objectives - as well as those of their clients.
