Why doesn't Microsoft just add installed programs to a update check list? I'm pissed at all these updater programs taking up my memory. -- |

Apple does that. But only apple applications tend to use it anyhow. |

I'm loving chrome, I just wish some of my firefox add-ons worked in it. It's missing a lot of functionality. Seems like a pre-alpha release rather than a beta. It's unbelievably fast on my home PC in comparison to all other browsers I've ever used in my entire life. However, oddly enough, it's way slower than any browser I've ever used in my entire life when it's run on my workstation at the office. Any page with flash causes massive slow downs and unintentional wipe transition effects between pages or tabs. Makes me feel like I'm watching a poorly created power point presentation rather than browsing the internet. In all fairness my office workstation has 1/8th the RAM, half the processing power, and has very poor memory bandwidth on account of one of the ports being defective.

It only seems marginally faster than FF3 to me. |

Derezo, graphics drivers have a huge effect on the "smoothness" of gui apps. Its possible your workstation drivers aren't optimized for fancy gui effects, or theres some (a lot of) bugs in it (like the nvidia linux binaries...). -- |

Well, I ran the test at http://celtickane.com/webdesign/jsspeed2007.php as previously mentioned and got near enough the same speed (chrome averaged 550ms and FF3 averaged 560ms), however how they got that result is completely different and shows a huge difference in the engines: FF3: Chrome: IE7 there are no results as all I get is script error One thing it does show me though, is I'm still getting crap scrolling problems in thread lists when using Chrome as I do with other browsers on different machines. I can only summize then that Matthew's CSS must be flawed However, has anyone spotted that the spell checker doesn't work in Chrome? when you right click it doesn't give you the spell checker.

I dare not test with Firefox, but it wasn't until about Fast Quality that I noticed a longer than I would like to wait for delay to occur. (Faster had a delay, but it rendered before I really moved my away from the button to to picture area) Too bad it doesn't give the time it took though, then we could use it for benchmarking purposes. (Oh, doesn't work in IE7. Some error during loading I think, which is good considering how slow it is...) --- |

One thing I've noticed with chrome is that despite leaving it idle with nothing showing, it is eating up 20% of my cpu for long periods of time. However, when I want to do a quick lookup I use it now as it starts up in under a second, whereas firefox still takes a while, despite all the speed claims they're making.
