    "Over-rated"

    May 12, 2012  |   By amnesiac7

    Version: Google Chrome 18.0.1025.168

    Pros

    Fast... but no faster than Opera or IE9

    Cons

    No faster than Opera or IE 9
    Memory hog
    Processor hog
    Seems to me like spyware

    Summary

    Chrome sucks... it is an over-hyped and over-rated system memory hog... and isn't as secure as many seem to think. Use a different browser.

    "Slow, heavy, but smooth"

    May 4, 2012  |   By Seth222

    Version: Google Chrome 18.0.1025.168

    Pros

    smooth
    clean
    easy to use

    Cons

    slow
    crashes often
    not that advanced

    Summary

    Most features of this browser are out of the 90s. Not a mach for IE. It is smooth and minimalist but not fast. Most Chromium Browsers such s CoolNovo or Comodo Dragon are better. Disappointing.
    I am CoolNovo, not Chrome.

    "Not much changed, but security."

    May 3, 2012  |   By punisher2892

    Version: Google Chrome 18.0.1025.168

    Pros

    Still the top fastest!

    Still same interface!

    Still the same download UI

    I wonder on what version all of this is gonna change but speed.

    Cons

    Still haven't improved on hardware acceleration.

    Hate the download UI, Everything.."EVERTHING" has to be downloaded and saved in your HDD in order to be opened.

    Nothing else. In my opinion, everything else it's fine!

    Summary

    In conclusion still a very friendly lightweight browser..Just need a bit more of improvement on the Hardware Acceleration and Downloads UI they freaking need implement a option to "Open" or "Run" certain programs or files without have to be saved in the Hard drive in order to be opened. It's annoying having to delete every app setup after you install them. Overall it's a good browser, once you get use to it even in some parts you're gonna get a little annoyed and frustrated and move out from it for a day, at the next day you start missing Chrome.
