But, the fact remains that after some usage, when you start running heavy things on it, like many tabs and youtube and more, it gets very annoyingly slow. It does not stand up to the line of their comic book in which they say that now, all your tabs will run independently and without any problem to each other or to the entire browser. @srajan: I agree that the minimalisticinterface is pretty cool, and the best part happens to be how, even without a title bar, it is not really very annoying.

I checked, and my IE search engine is set to MSN but Chrome didn't import. Probably took it from FFX. OK… I checked, and my IE search engine is set to MSN but Chrome didn’t import.

Now i wrote this post when I was pretty pissed off, with life, the internet and everything else possible (and not specifically Chrome). Chrome was the only new thing I could comment on and I cared to. Anyways, I really began liking chrome after I read this really diplomatic line in their comic book which said - "We have kept it open source so that others can take ideas from us, the way we have taken from others."<br />Now, first, I am <b><i>very</i></b> sorry that I said its default search engine is Windows live. The computer IO installed it on had its IE's default search engine as Windows Live and that's why windows live came up as the default search engine<br />Secondly, yes google chrome <i>is</i> shockingly fast and the only part of it don't like is that it takes up 116 mb on my comp (and if it doesn't o yours plz forgive me, don't kill me!). <br />Your justifications were very true and i accept that i was deeply wrong in my citicisms coz after all, even I <i>am</i> preferring to use chrome over my other browsers. And if any body actually cared about my rating, I wouldn't mind having double satndards and now raising it to over 4 stars. *-* *~* Ok.
