Yes, I have tried them all multiple times as updates come out. I'm also not comfortable using a browser made by an advertising company.

With that out of the way, here's the important part of my post: You can actually view the source for the V8 test page and see exactly what's in those javascript files. The ones I checked are all pretty easy to figure out, so feel free to take a look through them. I did not notice anything in the source for the main page or the scripts that would give Chrome any benefit at all. The engine behind Chrome just does really well at whatever type of processing those scripts use.
