Google Chrome is the official browser. It is based off of an open-source project called Chromium. Chromium is going to be the daily, less-stable builds. Basically, stuff gets added to Chromium on a daily basis, but it's going to be pretty buggy. When they get most of the bugs out, they put it into Chrome.

Because it's open-source, other companies are free to make their own browsers based on Chromium. Chrome Plus is one such browser.  SRWare Iron is another browser. Personally, I recommend that you use Chrome because you don't know how often the 3rd party will get around to updating their browser and if they take too long, you could be vulnerable to attack.
