Test Drive on Google Chrome

The pros and cons I observed... for now!

Pro:
  • Good looking interface
  • Speedy at launching and when opening web pages (even with flash and java-script)
  • "Feel" lightweight (you'll see why I use the word "feel" later).

Con:
  • Distortion in some pictures.

  • Still consumes lots of memory, although I can hardly feel it.

Try to add up the memory used by each "chrome.exe"

  • "Esc" key no longer works for meebo
  • Some pages will tell you to upgrade to other browsers to view the page (e.g. Hotmail). Don't be fooled, just try to open the same page again and you will get through.
  • The words become larger, when you switch from "editing in Office way" to "edit html code" and switch back to the Office way.
