As far as Apple and Safari is concerned, this partnership was done in direct response to Job's bashing of Flash and his refusal to integrate Flash into the iPad. Support for Chrome isn't any different than on the other browsers, it just comes packaged with it the same way Quicktime comes packaged with iTunes.

just tested FF and chrome with peace keeper and here are my results

FF:3307

Chrome:9017

i wont lie im really not sure how the test runs or what the numbers mean but im pretty sure Chrome won

mmm trying out chrome again.. since it's a new version. Firefox scored: 3391 but I think it could also because I have the default thingy to megaupload and i don't know how to change that @_@.. Chrome scored: 7542 I forgot the reason why i stopped using chrome. I think i got annoyed with something.. but I'm gonna give it another go on my desktop this time. Anyone have a list of their top extensions?expanded

I use:

AdBlock (gets rid of 99% of ad's)

Google Mail Checker Plus (icon that notifies me of any emails)

IE Tab (If a website doesent work or looks weird in Chrome i can click on this icon and it reloads the page but using the IE engine...but its within chrome...kinda hard to explain)

Some of the extensions I use:

Auto HD for YouTube - Automatically selects highest resolution when watching YouTube videos.

Craiglist Preview - Loads pictures in Craigslist search results.

DepositFiles/MegaUpload/RapidShare DownloadHelper - Automatically starts downloads for those sites once the countdown has completed.

Downloads - Creates button to open downloads list, but I find myself hitting "ctrl+J" more often, so I might uninstall this.

FastestChrome - Auto-loads next pages, scrolls right into the next page as you scroll down, among other cool things (buggy at times)

Google Quick Scroll - Allows you to jump right to the relevant info when loading pages from a Google search.

IE Tab - Loads pages using IE within a tab in Chrome. Good for sites that don't work well with Chrome, but those are becoming few and far between.

InvisibleHand - Creates a dropdown at the top of the browser listing prices from multiple retailers when searching purchasable items.

LIVE Streaming and Online Broadcasts Monitor - Loads multiple streams on a single tab so you can see what's going on in your favorite channels (Livestream, Ustream, Justin.tv, etc...)

* I don't use an AdBlocker because I like having ads on websites for some reason. It adds personality I guess...

Thats pretty cool. The only negative I can say Opera has, is that it seriously lacks any kind of add-ons. And like 98% of the widgets are not very useful to me.

Chrome seems to score better on the test, but I'm not really convinced about these mystery tests with arbitrary number scores.F1_2004

Well that's weird. Just downloaded google chrome and opened an HD youtube video in chrome+IE8 to compare (one at a time) and it suddenly froze. Closed the windows and my computer just locked up, did a hard reboot and when I got back in everything was extremely sluggish. Finally managed to openthestart menu and uninstall google chrome and my computer immediately sped back up. Assuming it was some kind of conflict but i'll probably just stick with IE, is a bit slower but seemingly far more stable.
