Well on the windows version each tab is basically in its own process. So this helps to make sure that a crash on one page will not take out all the other tabs.

Chrome/Chromium is also quicker than Firefox or IE.

Chrome/chromium also scores 100/100 on the acid3 test (http://acid3.acidtests.org/)

Drawback: It isn't as full featured as Firefox.

However here is a secret. Chrome is just the Free Open Source project Chromium ( http://dev.chromium.org/ ) rebranded and with a few tweaks by google. Usually Chromium has the newer features, whereas chrome is behind. Chromium in my opinion is the better of the two to use at any given time. Hardly anyone knows about Chromium, but many know of Chrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28browser%29
