Chrome's about:memory is saying it's using more memory than firefox with 6 tabs open(Pandora Radio, Wikipedia, Digg, TFP, Youtube, and google) Chrome is using about 7-9% more total memory than Firefox.

That's a fresh install and process of chrome versus Firefox that's been running all day long. Firefox also has a few plugins installed which should be taking up a bit of memory.

There's a few other things, I can't seem to get Chrome to clear my history when I exit the browser. I share a computer and I really value my privacy. They do have the clear history button handy, but I'm lazy and firefox already does this for me.

There's a few other things. I haven't seen a popup blocker but It's possible I just haven't seen any popups yet..

The few things I liked, It opens much faster than firefox. My firefox takes 10 seconds to open sometimes. I think I'm going to like the multi-process browser. I run pandora radio in the background while playing games. It'll really slow down the game after a while. Hopefully I'll just be able to kill the Pandora tab and reopen it to get a little performance back in my game. That's yet to be tested though. The larger viewable area is nice too.

Maybe there will be some good addons soon.

I wasn't even going to try this browser because Firefox has worked fine but decided I better try it for a few weeks because I don't wanna be the last kid on the block that doesn't have it


edit: another thing I just realized, I can't click my mouse wheel to get the auto scroll thing working.. and I can't center click my home button or back buttons to open them in a new tab.. minor inconveniences... oh.. and there's no built in spell check.. wtf.. I'm going back to firefox.


edit again: Just noticed you can open an incognito window where browsing history isn't tracked. That's pretty nice, now I can visit my private sites AND keep public crap pasted on the front page of the browser so i can easily access it later.
