It's fast all right, but *** you cannot scroll down with the middle mouse button.

I'm convinced it's this incredibly fast because a lot of what you'd expect in a browser isn't there to take system resources, both apparent and behind-the-scenes. Google gets a free pass because Chrome is in beta (and this is the FIRST release), and that's fine, but I say don't expect the performance to stay forever. It's like when you first install an OS.

OK that's pretty funny but it's not like the MAJORITY of most recent posts are about Chrome. Not as bad as the Macbook Air or GTX2** series releases.

Loading an about:blank page in IE instantly doesn't mean IE loads instantly.

Everything else, video plz.

Chrome is going to be on Mac. Stop complaining.

Mine works fine, you need to force your mouse software to recognize google chrome as a program

Hell, to be honest, it has everything I need... What else are you talking about that "takes up resources behind the scenes"? Its got spellcheck running... what does FF have that Chrome doesnt in this sense?

A quickly growing number of people are starting to own macs.

IE loads instantly for me. Maybe it's because I can afford a good connection?
