It also uses a third of the memory that Firefox does!
I suggest you check all of the individual processes under Chrome.
FF puts the memory in one heap.
Chrome divides it up, disguising the amount of memory it's actually using.
I've tried using Chrome and don't find the experience much different to FF.
I would rather use Firefox as it's open source and built by a community, rather than a giant corporation.
Why should I let Google control and deliver my browsing experience AS WELL as everything else they do?
Big web companies such as Google and Facebook are ending the open web that we've enjoyed so far.
You should not support them if you value sites like Golfgti.co.uk because their work undermines indpendent domains such as this, favouring Facebook and Google+ et al as the platform on which your content and engagement should take place.
Why?
Because this builds up a user profile so you can be targeted with more advertising.
I don't want that, thanks.
Use Firefox.
Firefox 4 has been fine for me and I shall not be going back to Chrome.
They're up to V7 now BTW.
This release is concentrating on minimising memory useage.
