Click on the wrench. If you see "About Google Chrome" as one of the options then you are running Google Chrome.

Your taskbar should also tell you that you're running Google Chrome.

That red squiggly line is the spell check function. Right click that red-underlined word will bring up the correct spelling of that word. You can even add words to the browser dictionary so it doesn't highlight it as a misspelled word.

It just comes down to personal preference. I use FF more then Google Chrome. They're both good web browsers. They both render pages faster than IE8 in the milliseconds

but overall they both feel more responsive than IE8.

I use FF because there's a lot more plug-ins for it than Chrome and I'm just more familiar with FF than Chrome. However, the amount of plug-ins for Chrome is increasing every month.

The biggest downside to Firefox is that it can hog memory. Over the course of several hours it can use +300mb of RAM. The latest version has reduced the amount of RAM it uses but it still experiences this problem. It's just a simple solution of restarting the browser. I don't know if Chrome has this problem or how severe the RAM usage after several hours of browsing.
