When Chrome updates it keeps the version you upgraded from in Google Chrome.app > Contents > Versions. I've been removing them whenever I've upgraded and found no problems with doing so.

You're right. Although there isn't a way to remove it from the screen.

Well my Chrome folder in C:\Users\simon\AppData\Local\Google is 1.66GB, the application being 323MB of it, so I suppose its a bit of a space hog. But I don't see the problem with large memory use. Ideally, all of your memory should be put to use all of the time, otherwise it is wasted, no? Shouldn't we be complaining that browsers aren't using more of our 4,6,8,12,16 gigs of RAM?

It won't be a problem if Chrome is the _only_ app that you run.

In my case, its not.
