i have noticed, when if freezes:

simply right click the google chrome tab (on the blue bar at the bottom), and it un-freezes.

very odd, very annoying, but works for me.

Jthrock, I agree with you completely. Everything else seems to be working great, but every time I’m on Youtube, it freezes, which I find ironic. I then find that I have to pull up Firefox and continue browsing…

So far I am NOT impressed with Chrome. I got it last night around 11:00 and it just freezes a lot. I am watching youtube and it freezes. The whole idea of different processes is a FANTASTIC idea… if it worked. When I tried to get onto besttechie today it slowed the window greatly and I could not get to any other tab like it says it should. I was however, able to open one of my other programs that was open. Youtube is freezing the browser up…. I do not think I have a ram issue as I have 2 GB of ram running windows XP. So far, I am unimpressed by its major areas. One of the nice things though is it’s search abilities, when you do a ctrl+f it is just like firefox where you can search while scrolling but in addition to that it gives you the total number of finds. The dynamic tab integration works nicely. Also it does not correct spelling errors like firefox does. I can not right click and fix anything.

Overall, I am not totally impressed as I do not believe that they produced a product that does what they said it will do. We will see if they fix it. I will use it for a little while longer before going back to FF if I do not see improvement.

i’m willing to try it out just to see if it works more efficiently than FireFox… if it’s faster than Firefox, has tabs and isn’t IE, then i’ll use it
