Now its time to figure out how to set up a server that can handle few thousand viewers. Cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://...

I expect (say) my bookmarks to be synced between all my computers. I'm sure plugins do this on other browsers, though.
The biggest reason I don't consider Opera or FF for daily use anymore: Non-chrome browsers drive me crazy due to the way they close tabs. It is very stressful compared to mouse-closing tabs in Chrome and its "smart positioning."

I love using the 'smart tab positioning' example: how many times have people moved the mouse to close 4 or 5 tabs? Sure, it's not an impossible headache. But most of us do it regularly enough that it's nice to have the button in the same place for each tab. It's almost as if the designers used a web browser before. And it's great.
And hard to imagine giving up.

I still really don't understand what's so hard about a couple thousand views. I've had a couple posts hit the front page (even #1 on HN and #5 on prog.reddit), and my server was fine. I use Apache to serve the resources and Clojure to handle web requests. Nothing fancy.

The statement is definitely a bit sensationalist. That said, yes . Even non-techy people I've seen checking out chrome comment on the speed and how much they like the UI.
thanks!

Using Chrome is like driving a luxury car for the first time. I remember when I got in a '93 Mercedes SL 500 in the rain and when I slowed down so did the windshield wipers. I know others replicated the behavior in later models, but driving that car made me realize that every other car was designed by people who didn't, apparently, drive cars.

I would expect that most people close multiple tabs with [cmd|ctrl]-w, precisely because of the back and forth mousing otherwise required. One thing I've worried about while using Chrome has been accidentally closing more than one tab at once, since, being a klutz, I don't have wonderful control over my index finger, and triple-clicking to select a paragraph is so common that I do it accidentally sometimes when intending to single click on a button or something. So far, I don't think it's actually happened very often, though.
