Plus I have 3 different distinct businesses I run. Along with some of the other specialty software I use that changes the way firefox and IE interact with PDF, I now official need the 3rd browser. 3 browsers also allow me to remain logged in to 3 different google accounts at the same time for various purposes, multiple gmails, checkouts, etc. Actually what is interesting is that I work on many different systems for my business which require me to be logged in to about 5 places at a time.

Another new browser. The world realy needs that.... Another set of incompatabilities, another set of security flaws, patches, upgrades. Another set of cross-browser testing for every web site in the world. What is the point? Existing browsers...well...just work o.k... Some trivial gadget features do not impress me. Wake me up when something exciting happens.. Great. Another new browser. The world realy needs that…. Another set of incompatabilities, another set of security flaws, patches, upgrades.

Especially if you use a lot of bookmarks you can manage folders, tags, etc. Sync with online services, export, etc. You're right that spell check does seem to be present on some fields. It was notably absent in Wordpress where I wrote this up. In using the browser for another day I have found a number of other features not pointed out in the review. - ability to hide the boomarks bar - ability to perform site searches from the URL bar (amazon/digg) - The use of Fitts' law for tabs when maximized I remain impressed. Well done Google. Bookmark management is much more sophisticated on Firefox and IE.

In using the browser for another day I have found a number of other features not pointed out in the review.
– ability to hide the boomarks bar
– ability to perform site searches from the URL bar (amazon/digg)
– The use of Fitts’ law for tabs when maximized

I remain impressed. Well done Google.

I am highly impressed with this browser, it is fast, and seams insanely stable, and I do like the auto complete, and I just spelled something wrong in this box and it corrects just like firefox, my Chrome browser is currently taking up 34MBs of mem with your page and a webmail tab open, I think the amount of memory depends on number of tabs and the content of those tabs, I opened a youtube video in another tab only increased it to 37MBs That star there next to the url adds to favorites, then you can show the bookmark bar, right click on it, and you have all the bookmark management you need, unless you know something awesome about bookmarks that I don’t?

You can set a home page, multiple actually. In tools -> options -> Basics -> On Startup -> Open the following pages: Also, the home page section on the same tab. BTW, I'm not completely sold on Chrome yet, but I'm digging it for sure. Just a little FYI. You can set a home page, multiple actually.
