Yeah, this is unreasonably buggy. In the report bug dialog, you cannot, for anything, use the mouse to select text on the last two lines, it will just jump up to the third from last, as if that's where you clicked. It's constantly not rendering my text as I type, and I have to scroll the page up and down to refresh the rendering. There's no way to view image properties. There's hardly any options available through the right-click context menu. It randomly changes between Halomods and the default home page when I start it (Even though I've specifically told it to load only Halomods on startup). When I tried to clear the history/downloads/cache after importing, the browser just froze every single time. As of now, I find this to be much more of a hassle than it gives benefits. I can't perform some of the simplest of tasks, such as typing. Sounds great on paper, I hope they can make it infinitely more stable by release, or better yet, in the very near future.

Agreed. If they don't bring in more features, necessary and standard features for that matter, I will not be using this upon final release. The tab getup is nice, but it's too far from worth it. I'm appalled at the lack of standard features.

Just got it working (I'm at home now), still hate the download in a download. But anyway, it loads up fast, I see no issues that Tural has as of yet. And It doesn't look nearly as shitty as the XP version does (hurray for purrty Aero grafix ;p). The text looks funny >_> No adblock =(
I like the dragging of tabs to new/other windows. A problem I have with Firefox (unless i've missed that feature, in which case, kill me and inform me, in that order)

edit: Google hates Joystiq. It imported all bookmarks but it.
edit2: Possibly due to the fact that this doesn't seem like it knows how to use RSS feeds. A critical feature missing I say. I'll look and see if there's anything hidden about the.

Eh...I'll pass on installing it now, then. I'll try it in a more stable release, and keep my hopes up.

Firefox: 99,872k

Chrome:
39,140k
22,028k
12,132k
16,632k
23,936k
9,844k

[12:29:18] Tural: Chrome, 4 tabs open: 123,712k

Come on Google, two of these are your sites. You can't optimize them any better with your fancy new processing methods?

I can open three more tabs in Firefox and still use less memory than Chrome, the fourth (eighth total, to Chrome's fourth) barely puts it over. And that even factors in the thirteen addons I run in Firefox.

I think where most of the optimizations would come in is for when you run Firefox for a long time without ever turning it off. For the past couple of days, I've kept it always on, with a tab for a webcomic that I'm reading from start to finish. That, plus normal internet usage (opening and closing many tabs), probably leads to memory issues.
Right now, my Firefox is taking 285,348 K, with three tabs open.

Wasn't it said in the comic about how its not the best with low amounts (obviously better wording) but when you've got heaps of tabs it is much better at handling it?
try 15 tabs =3

But regardless of that its still not good.

Actually it said that over time it has a better performance, because when you close a tab in FF it leaves traces behind, while Chrome doesn't.

The more I use it, the more flaws I find, it's a unique browser but that doesn't make up for what it lacks. Hopefully they will release a more stable version soon, until then, I'm sticking with the Fox. Besides, it's only a matter of time before someone creates a few add- ons for FF to mimic most of Chrome's "special features".

Everytime that I open a new tab by clicking on a link with the middle button on the mouse, Chrome scrolls all the way down to the very bottom of the page ON ALL OPEN TABS.

Is it just me, or is one not able to access the taskbar using the mouse when Chrome is on full screen? I am forced to press the Windows key.

Full of bugs, littered with inconveniences, and no Adblock. It's neat, but I'm sticking with FF until the next release.

I just used it and for some reason I had 4 processes called chrome. 1 was the main program, and the other 3 where all the tabs I had open. Fuck you Google chrome. Most the time when I opened a link in a new tab It didn't automatically go. I had to click the go button.

Don't bypass censors.
