what does everyone think of google chrome ?

my IE8 was causing lot of problems so i thought i would delete it, so i downloaded google chrome, i was prepared to delete IE8, then i saw that Google Chrome (i dont know how to say this word, sorry) "take over" IE8 ? and becomes it ? (sorry i have no idea how to say it)

so who uses google chrome ? and what do you think of it ?

imho, its a nice light browser, but i prefere IE8 in a lot of ways, although im gonna give it a go.
