Comment on "Serious Potential in Google’s Browser"

As the title of the article said "Serious Potential in Google’s Browser", based on my experience using Chrome there is a potential in Chrome. There are some advantages in Chrome that IE 8 (the newest edition of IE) and Firefox doesn't have, such as animation when moving the tabs or make the tab as a new window, each tab has its memory, cover its contents if there's a bug then won't infects the other tabs open at that time. 
When the browser start slow, we can check which website that eats a lot of memory by using Task Manager. Because Chrome makes each tab independently. The speed of using Chrome and Firefox almost need the same time, but compare with IE 8, I think Chrome faster twice like the article said.
The interface of Chrome is simply but almost powerful like Firefox. No main menu only two buttons, about file and settings. Then only has one toolbar for bookmarks. I think this interface makes Chrome faster.
The other advantage of Chrome is when type an url, Chrome give suggestions about the url type on the address bar. This advantage makes users save time for typing urls. Chrome also save history about the pages that ever visited and when open a new tab or window, there will be nine mini boxes show what pages that usually users visit.
This Chrome sometimes not works on some website. For example, in a website which is contains movie (not Youtube), Chrome can't play the movie. The movie is using swf player, maybe Chrome doesn't have plug-in of swf. This will be correction for Chrome developer update the browser and will be become powerfull or like the title said 'Potential'.
Overall, Google's web browser, Chrome, give a good point in the earlier version. More faster and easy to use.
