For some reason, Chrome (I use the Dev version) is not handling the new Bloomberg.com live video - Firefox does fine with it. The "pop out" window fails in Chrome - I like it because I can manipulate the size and fit it into a corner of my screen while doing other things. Can't do it with Chrome.

Speed? Forget that, just stop the memory leaks! If I leave my gmail tab open for a few days it'll hit half a gig of ram. Seriously? Speed won't help that.

As Chrome has become faster I have also noticed it becoming sloppy in rendering. I have started seeing more issues with Chrome of late. So much so its not my go to browser anymore.Speed is good unless its reckless. I don't want speed from a drunk, I want speed from a professional driver.

More speed . . . great . . .now if they could only get Chrome for Mac to stop rendering fonts as gibberish we might be getting somewhere. This has been an ongoing bug that (thus far) the Google team does not seem to be able to conquer.

Sometimes pop out windows seem to be blocked by the pop-up window suppression. If you right-click (control-click) and select Open in New Tab it usually works.

Same here brother. chrome is the new memory hog these days. firefox has way better memory handling.
