All OS are basically Beta as well, as you know they'll bring out fixes/upgrades for the lot of them.

Indeedy but in theory they are only supposed to go to a limited number of people. Windows xp in my books was still very buggy untill sp2

Any web browser is safe as long as the user takes the necessary precautions - having a decent anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall for starters.

Back to Google Chrome, still using it, no problems so far, bar a few minor problems, but this is to be expected in any Beta software.

Rob you forgot to say if it has all the latest patches,but that can happen only once the security holes have been found.
I belive that chrome is an older bulid of Web kit than safari and possibly may have a few little holes that need some polyfilla and now a different set of bods white hat and black hats will be looking at it possible others breachs maybe found.

This is a Beta version do not use for anything critcal! Google and others will leave the Beta satus up for ages as an extra defence if any holes or security issues are found.

Heres an early example or three
