From a purely technical aspect, Chrome has a couple of VERY cool features.

The Java Runtime is completely re-written into an extremely lean and mean engine called V8. It should net HUGE performance increases for Java based web applications.

Each Tab is its own process, which means if the tab running youtube videos pukes because of Adobe's completely buggy closed source plugin. You don't have to close the other 14 tabs you have open, you can just close the borken Youtube tab.

Each tab is in a Sandbox. To those familiar with Unix servers, this is roughly the same as a Chroot Jail. Which will make it VERY difficult for traditional Browser based attacks to infect the host computer.

Since Google Is releasing Chrome as a 100% open source application. If the License they are using is compatible I'd imagine parts of the new browser will make it into FireFox 4. Since Safari, and Opera are not open source, I suspect they will be less likely to include parts of Chrome in future versions due to licensing.
