Chrome still needs a lot of work to be done on it. To me it renders very similar to FF. I still need to use IE, because some web pages only work in IE. Chrome has the same problem as FF when those pages are loaded. So I think Google cheated and basically used FF code as a base. Seriously how weak is that.
as far as monopolies, this browser is suppose to be the base platform take aim straight at office, photoshop, visual studio, etc. They still have a long way to go. I wonder if they take code from the gimp and other freebie programs.
