Being an early adopter of Chrome and many of its benefits in speed etc… it now seems we see many of the common issues found in older browsers are no longer a stranger to chrome (*slower & bloated, profiles are corrupted weekly)…. In osX its absolutely horrid… if IE was still supported it may actually be worse?!? Safari is obviously the winner in speed for osX. Windows its a similar story especially if you’re running “too many” plugins/apps, which was one of the great things of using Chrome. Removing all the apps did make a difference but now I’m spending more time in FF and IE.. yes IE seems to have made quite a few improvements (*who would have thought??).

The newer version, of chrome 64bit, does seem better, there is still plenty of room for improvement….
