Well, not new exactly, it uses WebKit the same rendering engine that we know & love in Safair (really, webkit is amazingly well done) but they added their own goodies.
Right now it's Windows only (Mac & Linux "Real Soon Now") but after installing it yesterday I can say it's replaced Firefox as my windows browser.
Unlike Safari for Windows Google hasn't tried to port a mac app to windows. The have made a windows browswer on Webkit which is a much more satisfying experience. Add to that the process-per-tab and slick way they drag in & out coupled with WebKit's already very good rendering speed and the new javascript V8 engine and you have, well, a very compelling product.
I've been a diehard safari user for the last year on the Mac but I'll likely be using Chrome when it comes out on the Mac.

Do you ever read the EULA of Chrome? And you know that everything you do with Chrome find a place in Googles Database? At least datas from your HD?
I'm not sure that you'll really love Chrome!
That was an unfortunate mistake in their rush to get it out and has since been updated
