Simplifying further:

	This package provides a safe, fast, stable web browser.

Unfortunately that doesn't distinguish it too well from the
alternatives at any given moment.  Some relevant features:

 This is the open source version[1] of Google Chrome.  (The current
 package description covers that pretty well, luckily.)

 It uses WebKit, so the rendering is mostly similar to other browsers
 that use WebKit, such as epiphany-browser.

 The renderer for each tab is in its own (sandboxed) process.  That
 means crashes, security bugs, and memory leaks are less severe when
 they happen.

 It has a simple tabbed interface with no menu bar, so it makes good
 use of screen real estate.  On the other hand, I suspect some
 features would be hard to use without a mouse.

 chromium-inspector provides some very nice development tools (for
 tasks such as figuring out what is causing a page to take so long
 to load).

 For better or for worse, this is where Google client-side experiments
 happen, like SSL certificate pinning[2] and the SPDY alternative to
 HTTP protocol.

 What http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/ says. :)
