I'm having major issues trying to view the page in Chrome(Windows). The page renders fine but the scrollbar is "Choppy". Something he's doing in the page is not agreeing with Chrome. Not sure if I want to take advice from someone that creates a page with such a performance issue.

I had the same issue using Chrome.

He's just a guest author. Drew McClellan is the guy behind 24 Ways (http://allinthehead.com/ http://allinthehead.com/) and if I remember correctly this design is a couple years old now. Sidenote, seems Chrome has now entered the "pompous Opera phase", wherein Opera users used to always ignore the fact that they're in the vast minority of web browsers and point out every browser problem they have like it's the designer's fault instead of Opera's for their random rendering bugs.

  Err, Uh. Chrome is 7% of the market, Safari is 3%, and Opera is 2%. http://www.axiis.org/examples/BrowserMarketShare.html http://www.axiis.org/examples/BrowserMarketShare.html I know Chrome is only little over a year old, but was surprised as I've never seen it or Safari (WebKit browsers) ever have trouble with a page before.

    The chart you cited also has IE 6+7+8 market share at only 38%, that's highly inaccurate. IE is more like 60%-65%+ and Chrome is more like 2-3% (http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-daily-20090801-20090829 http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser-ww-daily-20090801-2009082...).

      The axiis chart is based on traffic from w3schools.com: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp That's a site for an audience of web developers, so of course it's different from a general-interest site. But 24ways.org is also for web developers, so it's probably a useful piece of input in this case. (As an aside, scrolling is perfectly smooth for me, in the latest Chrome beta on Linux.)

        If that's what you were originally intending something like "Chrome is 7% of the [web developer] market" would be a little more accurate. Anyway, I was just having some fun, 24ways is a side-project for Drew, so maybe drop him a note and let him know it looks off in Chrome and I'm sure he'll try and find the time to fix it.

      According to statistics an average american has one breast and one testicle. The chart mcormier cited is for w3schools.com There is nothing surprising that or pretty much any webdevs-oriented site has a low share of IE. Browser stats for two websites can vary wildly depending on the site itself, and even country. For example Opera is very popular in Russia—27% (http://www.rankingru.com/en/rankings/web-browsers-groups.html http://www.rankingru.com/en/rankings/web-browsers-groups.htm... ) and Ukraine where it tops the browsers chart: http://www.ranking.com.ua/en/rankings/web-browsers-groups.html http://www.ranking.com.ua/en/rankings/web-browsers-groups.ht... .

This is a bug with Chrome on Windows, which is apparently fixed in the latest build. The bug was exposed by our heavy use of RGBA colour, although it didn't affect earlier builds of Chrome or any other Webkit based browser.
