I've been using it for a little while and everything runs waaay faster and smoother, so far no bugs or crashes or any hic-ups. Its already gone through a lot of testing. Works great for everything I've used it for today. Great UI too!

Only thing that I don't really enjoy is there is no more scroll click scrolling, like when you click the scroll wheel on the mouse and can drag scroll, but its not that missed.

So test it out, and if you don't like it go back to firefox/IE/safari/whatever you use. Its not like your giving up ever using another browser, **** would be boring if people never tried new things.

I've found Firefox to bog the computer if you leave the browser open. More so if you have multiple tabs open.

Hell yeah it does, I remember when I would leave it open over night on accident it would go crazy in the AM when I would try and get on, I'm going to try it with chrome tonight to see how it acts.

I read another good thing is that if one tab crashes, it doesn't crash the whole browser.

Haven't ran into anything crashing so can't comment on that one yet, but that does sound good
