Everyone and his dog seems to be banging on about Google Chrome today, just a couple of days after launch, so this post will undoubtedly be lost in the sea of rants and raves on the subject. In the few hours I’ve been using it, I’ve found a few bugs:
- The ‘Most Visited Pages’ front page only adds non-local-language pages if you visit the root domain name first. If you visit, for example, http://blah.jp/english/ then it won’t be added.
- Disk access is horrendously excessive, bring smaller machines to a halt.
- SELECT/OPTION elements with “background-color:transparent;”, or with a background image, appear black.
Sites not working:
- BlueQuartz Control Panel
- Hotmail.com *
- KLM.com *
(* – Due to poor UserAgent Detection by the site.)

Update: 10th November
Well it took a while, but as of version 0.3.154.9, I am comfy enough with Google Chrome for it to be the default browser on all of my machines.
