I have seen, I believe, 4 different articles concerning Chrome and privacy concerns, as well as an article about a Chrome-related security vulnerability. All of these are, in my opinion, negative -- not hype.
In contrast to the iPhone, I have seen a lot of "it is cool and fast, but I'm not leaving FF/Safari/Opera just yet." When the iPhone launched, it went a little something like, "ZOMG! I will totally be in line for this at 5am even though I hate AT&T and mornings!"
Google Chrome is kind of a big deal. It's not surprising that everyone is talking about it. If everyone is talking about it, it's not surprising that the fact is reflected on the HN main page.
