I notice no difference in speed.

Just need to wait for Chatzilla. Then I'll switch.

Since I use Firefox Ultimate Optimizer, my Firefox only use 800K of memory. Chrome uses 13,000k + 5,000k = 18,000k. Ouch?

I'll switch over when Chatzilla comes.

my firefox uses about 75 000k with chatzilla.  Chrome is only using 20 000k.

I think chrome is faster and I like it better, but it does need some sort of irc add on.

yeaaah there's some stuff I miss from Firefox.. but it's only in BETA, I bet there will be lots of extensions and updates in the future since it's open source anyway (I think it is)

but hmmm I still like firefox better but I'm sure GC will be better with time.

I hear it has no noticeable speed difference and all major advantages to Firefox can be added with addons.

Everyone I know that tried it keeps telling me how fast it is to load pages. Sure the first time there's not much of a difference, but when you revisit it the speed is amazing.

Ooh yay, it's going to cache everything so I have a ton of temporary internet files that slow everything down again every time I delete them and could possibly slow things down and take up more RAM.

in GC, each tab is its own process, rather than being 1 process doing everything

acropol, google shouldn't even have the right to use the word beta, because even though gmail has been out for years, it still says that it is in beta.  so basically, never trust the word beta from google.

...so what if it's in Beta for a long time..

it's obvious it's not a final product as of now, to me.
