Many of the sites I visit are Java based and Chrome doesn't utilize much if any Java, which is one reason it is touted as a faster browser. I ditched mine too.

Google should have stuck to being a search engine.

I will second that - I loaded Chrome on about 6 months ago & played with it for less than a week, then removed it. It isn't all bad & has some pretty good features, it's nice & slim compared to some of the bloatware that is available - but it's just to slim, giving it plenty of compatability issues.

So long folks!

I've done it for a while but have a few issues with it. I don't get the tool bar for choosing emoticons, font settings, links, etc. And the edit feature displays HTML tags.

Anyone else?
