Sounds strange, doesn’t it?

despite the rumors, i’m finding Chrome’s speed to be inconsistent; it seems to alternate between going lightning fast and then hanging for no apparent reason…

But you should not forget that it is yet only a beta. But anyhow… I have to say that i “like” google in some ways, but i don’t think they should make another new browser. Because of many things:
* They will implement “their” HTML5 – which is not really a standard. HTML5 has its advantages for sure, but if they will have a good market share, i do not think if this is good for the whole Internet and its standards.
* Why do they make a new browser? One reason is: MORE DATA. And i do not know if this is good.

Whilst it is true that Chrome is in Beta Mode, anything the developers are working on to improve their service must have errors within them, so they can be fixed permanently.It was the same with Internet Explorer but in Microsoft’s case, their way of dealing with fixing their problem was by downloading & installing “Hot-Fix-Updates” which also meant,downloading huge update files that led to other security related problems which needed to be fixed again,again & again. For chrome, let’s lay our faith in their developers in the sense, this paradox won’t affect us as it did for IE. Whilst we’re using Chrome, don’t forget that we are also Beta Testers and anything we find obscure with the browser is up to us to help change by contacting Google to represent our views & performance factors.If we don’t do this, how can we expect changes versus updates to help fix the areas of concern that we’re griping about.
May the Force be with You!
