Discussion
Finally got tired of the lock ups and runaway-resource hogging of firefox, which I've supported for years, and moved to the latest stable build of Chrome. I liked it when it first came out but FF was leagues ahead, what with it's extensions and so on.
Ye gods it's fast, really fast. Much cleaner looking and there's pretty much all of the extensions I had too - though I miss having accuweather at the bottom bar, being as Chrome doesn't have a bar at the bottom. I'd highly recommend giving it a whirl to those who haven't, or haven't recently - it's blisteringly quick.
I did try opera too but I still don't like it.
Couple of questions -
1) Why are there multiple chrome.exe entries in the processes? I seem to remember it's normal just curious as to why.
2) Has anyone used the Skype extension? Had a quick look and it seems there's lots of people having lots of problems with it. Skype seem to be comprised of coders that prefer to live test unstable builds on the users
I used it an awful lot in FF, so would appreciate any feedback 
3) Any extensions you consider essential that I should look at?

Gotcha! That makes sense
Oh, another question - is it possible to get the RSS feeds to display in the bookmarks toolbar like FF does? I much prefer seeing the headlines that way than via google reader.
