At that point I went back to FF. That plus the speed is cancelled out by the inability to block ad's. I notice the latest beta has ad blocking, so I'm giving it another chance. I did try another build which included adblocking for a while but tired of that too. I need to switch proxies often as well, and I've found a beta add in for that.
Add in's seem slow in coming. Chrome being based on the Webkit/ Safari engine and Apple's involvement seem undesirable. As does Google's interest in selling advertising.
It's an open source project derived from KHTML in KDE, Google and Apple have just chosen to support it - throw loads of time and money into it while keeping it locked into the GPL so neither of them has any control over the code. Their involvement is anything but undesirable, it's responsible for the growth of the entire platform.
And yeah google sell ads, so what? I'd gladly put up with a few ads considering every free google product i use on a daily basis.
