Fox 2 is slow too. Which is why if I could get all my Fox plug-ins for Chrome, I'd dump Fox *right now* and never look back. Chrome was *so freakin fast*, it was like I had a new PC!

So I'll never try it again. Not only annoying are these flash, ads and scripts, they also use too much CPU and memory making my computer slow and HOT and running out the battery FAST. With Firefox, I can block them all, peace of mind.

Chrome is certainly one of the fastest and lightest browsers I've ever used. I was disappointed with FF3 and FF2 was becoming infuriatingly slow and unstable, so Chrome offers a nice alternative that should find it's way onto the computers (and Mids) of a large number of users. Given Google's clout, I would expect this to become a pre-installed application on computers from a number of manufacturers. I've yet to test it on my Everun but I'm likely to adopt it as my primary browser. A mac version would be welcome - I understand this is still in development.

Also the history and the seperate processes for each tab. I would love to use it, but that's only possible if it gets support for firefox extensions. Then it would be perfect!

On these pages chrome seems much faster. Otherwise I`ll stick with firefox 3 and opera. I really like it – but will probably only use it if I open sites that make heavy use of flash and java script.

Things I dislike on top what you guys have already mentioned: 1) Lack of a decent Bookmark Manager (maybe I'm blind) 2) Using text search, I miss highlight all 3) My Chrome just won't remember any form data and passwords 4) It scrolls way too fast. Seems to have its own scroll speed settings. FF3 behaves like any other windows window but Chrome just almost scrolls down to the page bottom if I move my finger a tiny bit on my touchpad. 5) FF3's address bar is more user friendly and has a better presentation of the results. In FF3 I like that I just can type a few letters no matter if they are at the beginning or in the middle of the title/url. Cheers Hi!

It does full screen for me at 800 x 480, unless your expecting it to resize all pages to fit the screen. It seems to render most pages I visit with no problem. Its still a beta so its due to have some issues but so far so good. I’m using this on my EEEpc 8g right now and it seems to run fine for me.
