why isn’t there a ‘private browsing’ feature on Chrome … ?
I mean… when you want to look at *cough* it is pretty useful ;-)

Hello Bloodyh,

Despite our response being somewhat outdated, we’d like to know everything you can tell us about the problem you’ve experienced with Rapport.

Firstly, Rapport does not support Chrome on a Mac (back in October 15 it did not support Chrome at all) and shouldn’t be affecting it. Then again, it shouldn’t be slowing down any program so we are very interested in investigating this problem.

By now there is a newer version of Rapport available, from the same site you’ve previously downloaded Rapport.
We would like to ask you to download it, and if the problem still occurs, please contact us at support@trusteer.com .

We appreciate any feedback regarding our product and will do anything we can to resolve any issues found.

Sincerely,
Trusteer Technical Support

I’d like to apologize and share my findings with you. The slow downs were not due to Chrome, but Rapport (from Trusteer). I realized that I also had a choppy iTunes (3 seconds of music every 10 seconds…). Actually, Chrome runs nicely :)

Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I downloaded Chrome yesterday and it is good. I’m happy I have my super tidy interface and tab management :) Haven’t experienced any crash yet.

However, I get cyclic pauses, Chrome freezes for 1 second every 10 seconds. It’s really annoying and makes typing, scrolling and interacting with my browser very choppy :(

Have any of you guys experienced such slow downs?

Thanks for the sympathy, I FINALLY found somewhere to report that, and the 4 other bugs i found (including ironically the fact that the “report bug” feature doesn’t work). I think i’m just going to stick to Opera until the final chrome version comes out.

That is annoying, but then it is only the developer preview. Maybe bookmark using Delicious instead?

I love chrome and was so excited to find it when i got a new mac. However i’ve just discovered that for some reason bookmarking doesn’t work… I hit the bookmark button but it doesn’t work. I open the folder I’ve put the bookmark in and nothing is there. I’m super annoyed about it since i saved about 10 things for an assignment because i had to restart and now i’ve lost them all.

it’s not necessarily a minor glitch as it does not render smoothly which is part of the test – it stalls for a moment (at 69). i love Chrome. firefox stalls at that point too. maybe that’s normal?

It has it’s issues, yes, but if you go to the Acid3 Test, it scores a 100/100 with just a minor glitch.

Can’t wait for the final release. Hands down the most favourite browser. Firefox’ sluggish GUI ticks me off, and nevermind the JavaScript performance which can drive any attempts to render graphics using the newly implemented canvas element useless.

Safari 4 isn’t too bad, if only it didn’t consume so much memory, and leave behind the X-gigabyte trail of website screenshots for its pretty sites panel.

And come on, when is anybody going to implement the auto-hiding status bar and tabs that open right next to the currently selected one? It’s as if only Google staff have ever used internet for more than an hour and the other companies just don’t know what users look for in a browser.

I recently moved to Mac from a lifetime on Wintel, and I’ve been surprised to find that one of the things I miss most is Chrome.

I thought I couldn’t live without my FF add-ons when I originally moved to Chrome, but I quickly forgot all about them, and now that I’m back using FF, I don’t find them all that relevant.

What I really miss, more than the HTML/JS rendering speed, is the UI responsiveness – Firefox just feels like a slug by comparison, particularly on startup, opening new windows/tabs, and switching tabs. I also miss the bare-bones simplicity and cleanness of the UI. Oh, and the Chrome Awesome Bar. Everything about Chrome just feels slick, speedy and responsive by comparison.
