    Chrome is fast cuz its not full of crap! So lets use metaphors:

    Car = browser

    Google took the car, and slamed a 8000 horse power engine in it. Google chrome is basicly a super computer in a browser

    Funny, I’m using a Chrome browser right now and the instant I clicked on this video’s link, it popped up. Chrome is the best, just like Google search is the best.

    IE9 is okay. Just like Bing is okay.

    @parfumeria33ro nice!

  15. parfumeria33ro says:

    In my oppinion, THE SCROLLBAR should be displayed only on MouseOver, eventually with a quick fading and still some transparency when fully displayed. The webpage content should stay centered no matter if the content is less or more than window height. :)
    My example page is found at

    // // // . statuianuda . ro slash no-scroll . php

    Please don’t mark it as a spam.
    I don’t know how else I can contact the Chrome Team, so I’m just submitting an idea here by showing the exact example.
