I hesitate to use even upgraded versions of Chrome, since my last experience using it (first version) left my computer compromised; have they fixed the security issues beyond all doubt?

Hi Moxx,

The main benefits of Chrome, as I see them, are:

More streamline interface and usability (or at least, will be).
Better tab management.
Faster JavaScript and rendering engines (to make all those thick-client web apps run faster)
And the number 1: Every tab is its own process, so if one tab dies (as often happens with malicious sites and/or plugins [esp. flash] and/or terrible javascript) then the other tabs will live on.

So, can somebody explain what exactly the benefits of using Chrome over FF are? I, like many others, are devoted to FF, and I’m not a fan of the major corps of the world taking over my PC. Obvsiously Google now rule the internet in so many ways that it’s beginning to scare me, but they do seem to get so many things right where others (MS) have failed.

Also, does this mean that for developers, we’ve got another browser to check compatibility in? I’m hoping not, and that they’ve got page display as spot on as Mozilla have.

Any answers to these will make me a happy man.
