Has anyone else tried Chrome?

[03HiYoSilver]

Some excerpts from ComputerWorld:

What about its memory footprint? Is it as big a pig as IE8 Beta 2? Bigger, according to Craig Barth of Devil Mountain Software, who just ran Chrome through the same performance test that he used on Monday to name IE8 as "epically porcine."

"What we found was shocking," Barth said. "We discovered that it is Google Chrome, not Internet Explorer 8, that is the true memory consumption leader."

By his numbers, Chrome came very close to matching IE8 Beta 2 on peak memory use (324MB for Chrome, 332MB for IE8), but used more memory on average (267MB for Chrome vs. 211MB for IE8).

Barth attributed the heftier memory appetite of Chrome to its multiprocess tabbing model, where each tab is actually a separate iteration of the browser. "Its use of that model, which, according to Google, helps isolate failures and protect complex Web applications means that it will always use more memory than Firefox, IE 7 and similar, single-process browsers," he said.

Fairly snappish so far, I miss my plugins though. Will not import from flock for some reason.

No adjustments (Yet) for text size. Can't see it, Can't use it.

Try Ctrl +/-, or Ctrl and the mouse wheel (Ctrl+0 goes back to default text size). Same text scaling controls as Firefox... or am I completely misunderstanding your definition of "adjustments for text size"?

Duuuhhh...is my face red. You are correct, Sir.

Only Thing it's not handled is this page (says no plug in), let me know if it works, as it could be my machine.

I've been using it and enjoying it. As a software developer that works on a very large web application, I'm very happy to see some of the technical features it has (presented in comic book form!): https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/

went through that book earlier. very cool.

Here's a nice overview of Chrome by the AnandTech website.

I think I'm going to like it.

You need a bleeding-edge Java beta.

I just noticed that you can drag tabs off the tab bar and across Chrome windows. Way cool.
