There's not much point in using chrome right now if you are a power user - there's no extension support. Worse, there's no support for the Mac or Linux. Is chrome faster? Depends on the benchmarks you choose :-) http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/2008/09/tracemonkey_update.html

Bravo Sean!
I am sorry (or I am happy?) that I can't test it myself right now. I am not going to have a terrible time using Windows just 'coz I need to run a new Browser application that works only under this OS for the moment. Probably it's a strategical mistake of Google to no have started with Linux/Mac users, those who understand "how the things work"? however ;)
so let's wait the buzz to calm down, the software to become more stable and the versions for Linux/ Mac to arrive ;), and let the Windows fans & poor obligated users to play with just another Windows application.

anyway Sean Firefox is still a terrible experience in the life of a Web 2.0 maniac as myself. I can only imagine IE serving to my 27 tabs each opening a different and intensive web 2.0 web site/ application ;) I am really sorry the crew still stuck with M$ browser, but "sono cazzi loro", what else can I say ;)
So for me Chrome, at least on the level of its concept/ declaration, is EXACTLY what do I need (will Google now hire me as Chrome Product Evangelist? :lol:). Opera/ Firefox x.x aren't really helpful for the guys like myself. those apps are the true lack of memory + unreliable with web 2.0 (unreliable) applications ;)
