   memory and resource HOG. First, there's the process of chrome. Now, install a plugin, and it will need it's own chrome process, so that makes two chrome processes. Install another plugin, that's another process. Lather, rinse, repeat.
   Once I got it all setup with the plugins I wanted, just OPENING chrome resulted in 8 separate processes of Chrome, all using up memory. Aside from that, they are privacy invaders with it. STAY FAR AWAY from this.

   Still no overhaul for the download manager to allow for the Save/Open/Cancel prompt offered by other browsers, I see. Chrome is a good browser, but their refusal to implement this one little thing makes it too much of a pain for daily use to me and many others. To be fair though, I can see how it's not an issue to most people. If like me you download a broad range of files, then you'll want to be able to chose file by file whether you want to save it or simply open it.

   No cache settings, no history settings, no cookies settings, no proper adblock, live search engine results only for built-in search engines, eat lots of RAM ... but fast.
   
   3 for for fast, -2 for everything else.

   Someone please start linking to the full 30MB+ download instead of the tiny downloader. Some other sites link to the full version.

   Those complaining about Chrome's relatively low rating should realize that a lot of people are comparing it to Firefox, a far more flexible browser. If the sort of power granted by extensions, live bookmarks and so on are important to a user then its only natural for them to give Chrome less weight. I have no doubt that on many systems (perhaps even most), Google's browser is probably faster and a lot more efficient than FF, which is a bit of a pig if you install more than a handful of extensions..but for some folks a couple extra seconds of load time or a an extra 50mb of RAM are more than worth the custom experience FF can provide. For most people opinions are 100% subjective.

   Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated. In my estimation in a year Chrome will be the number one browser for thinking users. With IE number one among the masses.

   I've tried the adblock+ extension and it pales compared to what you can do with Opera or Firefox.
   
   The mouse gestures (mouse stroke) one isn't much better.
   
   It'll take a couple more years before G Chrome makes it to the big league.

   I keep seeing people talking about various addons for Chrome, but I am running 3.0.195.27 and I see no plugin/addon support anywhere. Nothing about it on Google, either.

   Hello, by default Google Chrome will not update to Dev channel releases such as the 2.0 branch.
   
   Read this for details on how to get the updater to update to Dev channel builds: http://dev.chromium.org/...ng-involved/dev-channel

    Is this an upgrade? Supposedly, Google Chrome does an upgrade automatically. If you click on tools/about chrome, it says whether it is up to date. Mine says Google Chrome up to date (1.0.154.48)
