DarkNecrid, you seem to rate good security very highly, and yet you posted that. People, buy more RAM. RAM is cheap. And leave your security features enabled!

This is NOT new, although it may offer improvements over IE7's implementation.

Actually, I don't think there is ANYTHING new in Chrome. Seems what they're trying to do is take the best bits of all browsers, and put them all together in one place. ie. Building a better mousetrap.

Anyway, it looks promising, but let's remember it's still in beta. Although it's in no position to replace Firefox yet, people shouldn't dismiss it out-of-hand. Similarly, people shouldn't be pants-dropped fanboys about it either.

I heard google knows everything about you. Give them more possibilities to spy on you.

To be fair, sandboxing helps immensely and prevents malware sites from doing anything, and phishing sites are generally easy to spot to the normal person. Yes, go buy more RAM, but for a weaker PC its still an option. They really need you to be able to choose one or the other. Hell, the malware thing helped me get Inde to remove an ad related to malware so.

Yes it is, new, to the extent of what I was talking about. IE8 has added similar functionality, and Opera has similar functionality, but neither (well IE8 might now, it's still in Beta.) take full advantage of multiple cores to the level Chrome does, and both still suffer from one tab crashing or hanging to causing all other tabs to crash.

If you gave me your name, I could pay 10$ to know everything about you right now. Name, address, location, name of relatives, phone number, where you work, for how long, your car, animals, etc.

You don't need Google to spy on you, you can pretty much find info on anyone on the Internet if you have the $ and know where to look

yes sure google Chrome is the best browser, when i first downloaded it, my internet was running at a lighting speed, i even checked my speed ( http://www.ip-details.com/internet-speed-test/ ) and it was normal too, hitherto i used firefox which chocked my browsing capabilities .
But the only one advantage with firefox is that it has more add ons, which makes things much easier

But yea I went from buggy FF to Chrome and never looked back.
