Can't wait for the mac version of chrome to be released. Looks like a great browser. I like the independent tab concept.

I still prefer Safari + adblock pro.

If Chrome and Safari are both based on webkit why is Safari less secure?

Good question.
They both use the WebKit rendering engine, but not necessarily the exact version. Hence there may be security differences (I don't know).

Core 2 Duo E6300 at around 2.4ghz, 2gb of RAM. It's not that slow.

Could be the extensions I have, though I don't have THAT many...

Starts almost instantly on my laptop, 1.6ghz c2d and 2gb ram.

Reinstall?

I just upgraded my computer to 2GB ram and it still takes a good 5 minutes for Chrome to load.
1.73Ghz Pentium 4 processor and Windows XP SP2 here.

Interesting. On my laptop with XP. It took 2.5 seconds to start up - just tried it. Half a minute seems a bit abnormal if his Chrome is starting right up. I think it's a personal PC problem.

I'm not really a firefox proponent. I just think it's much better at this point. Down the road, who knows.

Under 2 seconds, freshly booted laptop with Vista Ultimate 32 ,T2600 @ 2.16 GHz cpu, 4Gb RAM.
It's my favorite browser right now.

hmm, my laptop is a core 2 duo t7600at 2.83ghz 4gb ram, i have 20-30 addons, mine loads in 5 seconds, with bout 10 tabs

just tried it with 1 tab, 1 second, [superfetch is off]

 

[Billyk]

Double post, sorry

I like some of the features but there's one thing that always pisses me off - tabbing isn't optimized. Looks like it only uses 2 connections for all tabs, rendering isn't done until WAY past TTFB (time to first byte) and tabs don't load at the same time.

I've had times where I stopped one tab before others started to load and they stopped loading as well. Very buggy.

I'm using it some of the time just because FF3 is still a pig on memory.

Hmm, I find that chrome seems to load websites much slower than Firefox for some reason.

hmm v2.0 also fixed zoom page - previously the text would get zoomed but the images would remain the same size
