    I am having a problem with that as well. The one on my touchpad will only scroll down but not up in Crome.

    odd, works fine with my scroll wheel, the only thing that doesn't work with the scroll wheel is that you can't press it and move up/down the page.

    I just FREAKIN' love how LITTLE space of the screen it takes up.

    Also, the status bar is not there... think that's bad? Well, when you hover a link is the only time the 'status' bar shows where you're going. :cool:

    Wa-freaking-ow :eek:

    Man, I like it. Makes the viewable area seem so much larger. :eek:

    The only thing that bothers me so far is not being able to press down the scroll wheel and have it automatically scroll down/up. :(

    Not me - I can see more in my firefox window than I can on chrome. But that's just the way I have everything set up anyway (menus minimized, etc). I'll keep using ff until chrome makes some more improvements. But I will admit there's definitely something there to it - lots of potential.

    How does the memory, cpu usage compare to IE and FF?

    For me the slightest tap of the scroll wheel will send the page flying to the top or bottom.

    Don't know any stats, but it seems faster than FF.

    From what I've heard so far, Chrome's innnovations are also in the upcoming release of Explorer. Is there anything Chrome can do that the next release of Explorer won't do?

    Link to the upcoming features you're talking about? I've been using the IE8 beta and it's been a lot more buggy the Chrome has been so far.

    I'm pretty sure CF.net is down right now. Can't open it in FF either.
