    Hopefully Google will start to realize that their strength lies in search engines....not in all their side projects. Perhaps they will use the same approach they used for Google Videos. They will give the project a go and if it fails they will just buy a better version from someone else.

    thought it was a really good browser.

    Thing browser should be taken off from the internet really. We can't be Google's guineapigs for solving their coding errors!

    Yeah, I had a big feeling there were going to be problems with Google Chrome. It went from Beta to release in just a couple of weeks. Was obvious it was going to be slightly vunerable to attacks. Especially DoS.

    Stick to Firefox, or IE.

    Looks like Google is having a bad time, after the recent mistake to Indian Adsense Publishers. I removed Google Chrome, after no support for basic add-ons.

    It's insecure and it's a resource hog.

    Chrome is still in beta stage, i hope all bugs will be sorted out soon.

    Although its not having support for lot of plugins i am still using it, bcoz its lightening fast.

    With Google. "beta" means nothing. Some of their appications and features remain in Beta for years.

    This is true. GMail still says beta on the logo. However, Chrome no longer says beta in the About section
