Hard to believe that people are totally abandoning their other browsers just yet. I can wait.

To be honest, firefox is just habitual, i wanted to use chrome on places like here where nothing important is going on but alot of times i just click on firefox. This is because im so used to just launching that it has become and automatic thing. Although i do like chrome and am interested to see what comes of it in future betas.

Exactly. The "spike" is due to people using it to try it out and probably alongside their default browser of choice.

Peace...

I think Chrome's one significant advantage is the multi-tasking architecture that allows you to kill errant tabs without taking down the whole browser. I hope that FF moves to this some time in the near future, it would be a huge improvement!

I forget if I read about it here or somewhere else but someone has been able to get the entire Chrome browser to crash after opening up 45 or so tabs. Once Chrome matures, I'm sure the multi-process architecture will prove very useful and I do agree with you it's a great advantage Chrome has today.

Peace...

We don't need this. We already have Firefox. Google should stick to being the world's greatest search engine. They're good at that. Their software? Ugh. No thanks.
*cough* Google Desktop *cough*

Rest assured, it will. You know those FF devs. Crafty buggers. They'll get it sorted.

Ten Cool Google Chrome Tips and Tweaks
"My guess is most people don't use Google's new Chrome Web browser as their primary browser yet. Google still has a long way to go with the browser adding features and fixing problems. Nevertheless, I've collected what I think are some of the most useful tips and the most interesting tweaks for the Chrome browser."
