Well, Chrome can't even be installed without being a pig about it -- no way to set the installation location, no option to disable the background updates or keeping the last few versions of Chrome around. I guess it's okay if you don't really do much with your computer though, and don't mind the resources wasted on Chrome being needy. (e.g. I have old school DSL with 100 kb per second; I like to choose when I want a browser update, and it's hardly hi-tech to allow for that)

Since I stopped using Chrome (both regular and canary), and stick to Opera, Firefox and FF Aurora, I can basically do whatever I want. Having 20 websites open in Opera, a bunch more in FF, and a video running in VLC or Renoise playing a song -- while playing L4D2 in a window, zero problems, even with my crappy GPU and otherwise good, but not crazy specs. With Chrome in the picture hard crashes were the norm for me.
