Chrome is nothing special and in fact is way to open, I won't use it any more. I like Firefox, IE7, IE8, Avant Browser and even Orca Browser but IE9 is really bad I've demo'd it for a couple of days and removed it due to:
1) SLOWNESS ? Microsoft is monitoring your surfing habits and the time it takes to bring up a website. This severely slows down your surfing especially when you have an Internet Security program running. If you disable the security program add-on then surfing speeds up but now you are wide open to attack from the web which is not the correct answer. Once again MS is trying to do too much.
2) INFLEXABLE UI ? The new toolbar structure can?t be configured the way you want it. Microsoft in their normal infamous know it all fashion does not allow you to change the size or move the Address bar and it is extremely small which makes you think why even show it then. Also there is seemingly no Search bar either.
3) FILE DOWNLOADS ? Microsoft is trying to be like Firefox in this manner as you get a big banner at the bottom of the surfing window when you invoke a download which sits there until you clear it manually. You can also choose to bring up a separate UI with all downloads in it exactly like FF. If you like FF this may be great but I?ve never liked that about FF and if I did want that I might as well just use FF. There also is now where in the IE configuration to turn this nonsense off like you use to be able to with IE8.
4) ACTIVX-JAVA BETA ISSUE ? Some buttons on certain websites don?t show but if you move your cursor over them they appear and work fine. Other sites the buttons may show but aren?t handling their association to the action they perform, they don?t work. This is a Beta issue and something they will fix of course.
I can?t see using IE9 in the future unless they clear up these issues IE8 is much better than IE9 in all manners.

Take a look at Pwn2Own and see how fast IE got Owned, and see how it's been Owned every year. Also, take note of how neither Chrome or FF were cracked. Chrome's owned since it got released, and FF has held up the last few years. Plus, IE9 isn't XP compatible, and when Microsoft finds a flaw, no matter how severe, they only provide a hotfix until the next Tuesday, which seriously pisses me off, seeing how they could just auto-update like Chrome does.

Well according to the results I saw Chrome was the hold out and everything else was hacked, even FF. But I can tell you that Chrome isn't as good as the hackers in this contest claim it is, as I've used Chrome and had it cracked even with its Sandbox approach. It is buggy as hell and maybe that is why they had problems as Google is poor at standards and their approach is all over the place, they make MS look good in their structure changes.
Chrome is a nightmare in my opinion and I won?t use it, besides they always have a hook open to your system. I don?t need them following my personal habits more than they are already so I would rather use a more private browser.
