Using Google Chrome

I am writing this in Google Chrome right now.

[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13]

Unfortunately, Chrome has some issues with the wordpress post entry text box, but it is more of an annoyance that a big problem and they are very annoying.

It is fast, but not smooth. It is more stable than Safari on Windows (as far as I can tell), but not great. It does at least work with Arena (which Safari does not).

I brought it down to a lack of responsiveness trying to download 7 podcasts from Bloglines, I dislike the tabs on top of the address bar, the download page cannot be cleaned up (as far as I can tell), New Tab is not letting me open my homepage instead of recently visited pages, and it is lacking important features (I really miss my FF extensions too).

Something interesting, about:memory brings up a lot of memory information. I found this by middle clicking on the top bar, selecting “Task Manager” then “Stats for nerds.”

I may use Chrome for GMail or just another browser option, but it is not ready to replace FF or IE (well, duh).

UPDATE: I won’t be using it for Wordpress posts any time soon. I am editing it in Firefox because Chrome completely goofed the posting.
