I used to use gmail notifier, but then I started using Digsby because it can check my hotmail and facebook notifications as well. It's a messaging client, but you can set it up strictly to notify you of your webmail accounts.

I'm not sure wether this has been already mentioned here (just woke up 
) but anyway
When you install the browser, you at the same time accept that Google has the rights to use, modify, copy and publish anything you write/publish/whatever using their Chrome browser.
And that of course includes using what ever you do and write on it to send the information to their affiliates for marketing purposes etc

Same in Danish. You maintain the copyright, but Google can use anything as they please. The sharing of data with third parties, - without specifying what third parties constitutes, is also pretty scary.
They can essentially take any private email, document, whatever and use in any way they see fit.

Indeed. This will all be examined pretty deep though as Chrome is open source.

This is the english "By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any content which you submit, post or display on or through, the services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the services and may be revoked for certain services as defined in the additional terms of those services."
I'm not sure how they define services, but I'm pretty sure they don't mean the web browser itself. Also, they cannot publish your emails because it would be against the terms of service for your email. There are still probably issues with this, but don't think google has the right to start copy pasting your emails all over the internet.
I do not believe that is true at all. Your mail has its own terms of service agreement which should protect your right to privacy. Google cannot override that, and state that in the TOS for Chrome.
Hmmm ... okay I amend my statement, once there are mouse gestures and no-script and the source code has been trawled for "Call Home" features and there is an independent distribution without Google's obnixious EULA I'll try it out.
For a company who doesn't want to be evil they sure write a mean license ...

Well I don't know what they mean to do with the license, but in actuality it does refer to the web browser itself :
Ok, something is definately weird. I tried to play a Flash game (Fantastic Contraption) and the browser constantly freezes for a couple of seconds. According to the Task Manager, it's not even the Flash Plug-in, which didn't take more than ~70% CPU load. Every few seconds the Flash CPU load drops to zero while the "Browser" CPU load shoots up to 100% and that's when the freezes occur.
I don't know. Maybe Chrome doesn't like single-core CPUs. In its current state, it's unusable for me, at least on my notebook. I mean, ok, browsing porn seems to work fine and doesn't leave any traces so I guess it's worth keeping installed. If they fix the glitches and make it a bit more customizable I might have another look.

As a developer, I think Google missed the boat with Chrome: they could at least have extended JavaScript with a real object model, types and persistent local objects, increase the Canvas functionality and allowed you to mix drawing and controls. And add better relative positioning control to that.
I would really want to use all of that when making webapps.

But that's the difference of making the browser standards compliant and writing new standards, no?
Yes, it's a gray area. I rather have a standards compliant one than one that isn't but has extras.
But, when everyone simply makes their browser compliant, no new developments take place. And webapps are really a great pain to make, in just about any area.
So, I would love it if Google made one that is W3C compliant, but offered those yummie extras at the same time. Like how OpenGL does/did it with extensions.
