But aren't Google the new anti-christ? Keeping tabs on you and your particular surfing habits and all that?

Not very far from the truth it turns out

Holy shit!
Chrome is seriously fast at running scripts

that is fecking impressive. I have a very very intesive JS site I am going to test it on to compare now.

OK FF3 is taking on average 200ms...now for chrome

Ok don't know how to monitor it in Chrome, but it was noticeably quicker to the eye.

Test was done on a site doing an intensive JSON hit every 2 seconds

I'm finding Chrome is better than IE7 for sites like TB, #####, Tesco that are quite busy and interactive. Tesco online has been pathetic for me recently on IE7, but was really smooth on Chrome.

chrome is nice, loving the style and shape of it. much quicker too

they've got a few java things that dont run, but i assume they'll be sorted after beta
