I saw your tweet about that earlier but didn't get a chance to try it until just now. Every tab in Chrome is a separate process, so the way it should work is that a slow process in one tab won't affect the others. You could even crash a tab and not lose the whole browser--pretty nice. Like you, I can't wait for extensions! @LissaKay Cool on the text boxes! I saw your tweet about that earlier but didn’t get a chance to try it until just now.

Like you, I can’t wait for extensions!

Right now, with 6 tabs open in Chrome (and 5 processes running in Task Manager), and PowerPoint and Word 2007 open, I am only using 20 - 35% CPU cycles. I like the resizable text entry boxes. See that? Down in the lower right corner of the comment box? Way cool! But I miss a few key FF extensions ... Tab Mix Plus, Greasemonkey scripts, but those are mostly for my convenience. More usage will tell what all is really missing in that regard. I hope, with Chrome being Open Source, that there will be future development of plugins and extensions. So far, so good ...
