Has anyone noticed they spawn two processes in the host OS and then seem to spread the load across the two for rendering? They then spawn an additional per tab, but still spread the load. I wonder if that is how they achieve multi-threading?
I can't wait to test this with our web application. It's an AJAX app that will bring any machine to it's knees when lots of tickers are loaded.

It is very fast indeed.
Uses IE proxy settings. Convenient, didn't have to teach Chrome how to go through privoxy.
Does not import, and does not offer to import, Mozilla html bookmarks files.
I have IE7, SeaMonkey, Opera, and K-Meleon. Chrome only offered to import the IE favorites. Being that I've only used IE to hit Windows Update, those favorites have never been touched.
Its options dialog is even more sparse than Firefox's.
Also couldn't find a way to rid it of the Vista-style Min/Restore/Close buttons.
I give it a 4/10.

Ugh, downloaded it and installed, now wished I hadn't.
This thing acts like spyware.
(Update):
Uninstalled, no thanks Google. |

Yes. Someone previously already compared memory usage.
It's bound to end up using more memory IMO, due to spawning extra processes. No worries. I've got two gig, most of which goes to waste anyway.
I think I'll use Chrome like a Mozilla Prism/Webrunner on steroids. Being made by Google it should be the ideal browser for using Google services like GMail, Docs, Calendar, etc.
And then I'll use SeaMonkey for everything else.

said by lilhurricane :GoogleUpdater as a service?  No thank you I saw no proper service listed in the services window, but did spy a GoogleUpdate process running in the background, even after closing Chrome.
Also very odd - after installing Chrome, I can no longer open IE. It crashes immediately. Not that I use IE, but that's still just not right.

I'm not able to get to G-Mail in Chrome. Anyone else experiencing this? It may be work proxy-related, but I can get to G-Mail in Firefox and I.E. I've deleted cookies, disabled popup blocking, and everything else I can think of. It just takes me to a blank page rather than the G-Mail login screen. The same happens if I go to google.com and click Sign In at top right.

Fast, yes, and clean, I like that.
But how can I do this, which I do with firefox:
I want to launch to a blank page, since most of the time, if the browser is not already open, I am opening it to do something specific. I also want to have six tabs come up as my home pages, but only when I hit the home button, not on launch. I can do one or the other, I think, but not both.
