After having read a thread extolling the virtues of Google Chrome on MepisLovers, I thought I'd give it a go . I downloaded the DEB from the link provided in the Mepis Wiki entry and installed it using KPackage. There was an error due to an unmet dependency. I closed KPackage and opened Synaptic to look for the missing package using my preferred app. Synaptic showed Google Chrome as a broken package. I used the option to fix it and xdg-utils was marked to be installed. Once that was in place, the only other tweak was I added the --enable-plugins switch to the menu item for Google Chrome.
First impressions are that it is a very fast browser. I'm using it to write this short review, so it would seem that most day to day needs are met. The only problem is that it doesn't render the drop down menus on the MepisLovers site properly, an issue that has already been noted in the thread I linked to at the start of this post. Overall, I think I'll be using it for a while...

I like chrome, too: but not using it too much yet because:
- the display on MepisLovers you mentioned and a couple of other sites.
- I'm too used to Xmarks and other various addons in firefox
- the tabs at the very top of screen will take some getting used to.
Cheers
