Used Chrome at work today. It's very fast on my laptop (an oldish one).

I'm not sure there's a quick list, as the differences are great, but QuirksMode looks comprehensive.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I have yet to get Chrome to install on two different XP machines.
the installers won't launch, or they appear to and then disappear.
I even downloaded the standalone installer on one machine.

Daniel, I had to run the installer, then search my profile path for 'chrome' and manually run the installer it extracts.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Here is a review comparing the current Chrome beta to Firefox 3 and the current IE8 beta: [link]

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The annoying thing about Firefox 3 is the autofillin thinger in the address bar, but fortunately the SO figured me out a way to nix it.
Haven't tried Chrome yet.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
From the review dcp linked to:
Luckily, there's a small add-on program for Firefox that lets the user prevent Flash files from running automatically when a page loads, and it turns Firefox into a stable, efficient browser.
Anyone know the name of (or where to find) this add-in?
t edit Maybe this one? [link]

Sounds like you got it, Jon.
