Google have just released their new browser Chrome.

http://www.google.com/chrome

Threads looks fine in it, with a nice gold box around the postbox here that I haven't seen on any other browser.

Good, count your blessings. I don't think the World really needs another browser myself, especially one that is already tied to the largest marketing giant in the World.

It keeps choking on youtube videos - I'd think they'd be able to play their own stuff smile It does load forum pages quickly.

Easy to crash the browser, just do :% for looking up options and it will crash.

Font changes don't seem to take
CSS breaks down on pages and messes up the layout like on MySpace and here - the left column graphics pull apart.
Tables don't render properly either

Though there are many tools to show the hidden passwords including it with Chrome is potentially a risk from someone looking over your shoulder or your kids getting yours. Would be better to at least make people more knowledgeable in order to get such information instead of putting a button you can click to get the information.

That's strange because when you view the datails on the Who's Online page it reads "AppleWebKit 525.13 / Chrome 0.2.149.29 / Safari 525.13".

chrome is fast, but I would love to give it a lot of IE's UI.

This is not the only strange thing. I noticed that some Webkit specific features such as the CSS text-shadows are not working in Chrome, while Safari shows them without any problem and on every platform (Mac/Windows/iPhone).
