Chrome comes with its own task manager with both standard and nerdy views:

The way Chrome handles viewing source also made me happy:
It's very developery.

Not sure if it is me, but after using FF3 since its release, I can atest to its speed in loading/rednering web page, almost always faster than IE7. While in the review, we are seeing that IE7 takes the crown for most of the test sites. Anyone any comments?zebrax2 - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 - link

I am loving Chrome, very fast and best of all it's simple to use, nice UI.ubiloo - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 - link
I see the author of the article is looking for new features, etc.I think that Aurora (in Mozilla Concept series) is really displaying some... Check here:

Since no other web browser does except IE. Maybe it does?I love viewing this site with 4 inches width on each side wasted in FF3. Such a classy design anandtech.../sarcasm

IE7 and FF2 both display in the center with a lot of grey space to the sides on my 24" monitor. The table that spills out the end in FF though was all present in IE.Of course, all the ads are also present in IE, which is why I never use it.

Anandtech seems to display fine for me with Firefox 3.imaheadcase - Thursday, September 4, 2008 - link
Try looking at AT on a 24 inch monitor. The site does not scale accordingly. The forums do, just not main site.strikeback03 - Thursday, September 4, 2008 - link
Define "scale correctly". It is centered, probably 1024 pixels wide, and I would imagine that is exactly what they programmed it to do.haplo602 - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 - link
what about ad blocks ? popup blocker ? session management ? page manuipulation (zoom etc.) ???
