Chrome Final

  Hello everyone, sorry for not writing anything these last few weeks but I've really been jammed. Anyway let me get right to it.

During the last days of 08 Google Chrome came out of beta and the final release flooded the net.  Yes I do know it's a great browser, much more secure than others, faster than Firefox 3 and even Opera, simpler ..and so we love that clean design. It has great rendering ability, as well as the great Java engine, and the multithreading innovations. And no Google did not pay me to say all of that. However what still bugs me, and why I still prefer Opera ( they seem to have solved most of the rendering issues) is that Chrome uses up so much memory. I did a few test and the end result is that Chrome uses about 40-50% more resources than Opera ( as shown by Chrome's own Task Manager) . Now that doesn't really bug me as I have quite some ram ..but if your trying to fit a nice little simple browser on a older PC you will definitely have quite a few problems.

Anyway ..it's nice to see you can finally run Flash on Chrome without it either breaking down or not supporting it at all.

I'm Rex Hunt, see you next time in the wonderful world of fishing .. ( inside joke! Cheers!)
