I'm using it now. It's pretty damn good but it seems to fluctuate a lot on loading times.

Damn, that thing is fast

Maybe I´ll change my precious Opera for this one.... maybe

I reckon Chrome is pretty good! Fast, looks solid and it runs smoother aswell. It just needs some more plug-ins to work completely.

Only problem with Chrome is I can't scroll upward on the laptop

Quoted from Neowin.net

"The first, is the popular "carpet bomb" vulnerability that still exists within Chrome, as pointed out on our forums by our member matessim. This vulnerability allows malicious websites to drive by download and execute programs on your machine. Our visitors may remember the uproar that this same vulnerability caused for Safari users, and that Apple patched the carpet-bombing issue with Safari v3.1.2. Chrome is vulnerable to this exploit because it is based on the same engine, WebKit 525.13, and Google did not patch or update the engine before releasing the software."

Turning on the option to always ask for a save destination (the 'save as...' option is always enabled) removes this vulnerability.

Complete anti geek question here: What does BEAT refer to?

Complete anti geek question here: What does BEAT refer to?

Do you mean Beta? If so it is the second letter in the Greek alphabet, and refers to the a stage in testing. Alpha testing is carried out internally to the software developers (often by a separate department), this is then improved and released to real world users. Although this is a full product, many bugs will still reside in the code> When it is tested this way it is said to be in BETA stage (I.E. still not fully developed; but released to, a small proportion of at least , the public). Hope this was helpful.

Yes I did mean BETA, thanks.
