but no bad for an early beta though. Chrome will come to the fore when the first applications that rely upon JavaScript compilation for performance come along - the browser is waiting for the first "killer app". Remember that processor speed increases are no longer a given - we need to develop ways to execute more code in the browser despite that, as then we can deliver the very rich browser based applications that (for the moment) are just a twinkle in a developer's eye.
