The fatal weakness of Google Chrome

Google launched its browser, Chrome, today, but it is far from being able to challenge IE8 Beta 2. The interface is extremely clean, unlike the cluttered toolbars and boxes of IE or even Firefox; Chrome's tabs and other elements have a softer appearance. It also loads pages fairly quickly. However, it isn't well-integrated with Google applications, and using Chrome to access Google services feels almost identical to using IE. Additionally, Chrome has several fatal weaknesses. Due to these flaws, Chrome can only serve as a supplementary browser at best.
