should be interesting to see if Chrome works more efficiently than FireFox and IE… if it’s faster than Firefox, since isn’t IE, then i’ll use it

If you press Shift+Esc inside Chrome, you can see all the processes used by Chrome, memory and CPU consumption. You will find out that the Shockwave Flash Plug-in runs in a separate processes also.

I tried yesterday and while it’s nice and I like the fact that separating the taps to its own identity is pretty cool. Now the javascript is super fast but on some pages it loads them horribly slow. I definitely I like it but do we really need another browser in the market?

According to design, one bad tab locks up that process, not all of them – and that is the reason that Google used this particular design.

I played around with it a bit today, and noticed a few things:

- no extended SSL feature (i.e., the green address bar that IE7 and FF3 suuport)

- for flash heavy sites, there is no indication that anything is loading or that flash is processing – it just looks like nothing is happening

But I really did not push it all that hard. There are some great features, though – it keeps track of which pages you open a lot and shows thumbnails of them when you start the browser or open a new tab, which I think is a great feature; the autocompletion in the address bar completes by domain first rather than any subpages, which is nice. It seemed pretty stable in the 45 minutes that I was using it. And it’s very, very fast.
