[olug] Google Chrome on Linux

[Dave Rowe]

I've noticed that the popup blocker still loads the popup and renders the content.  If the popup contained flash, you'd hear the flash video, and it would stop if you closed the popup blocked notification box.

Also, seems rather CPU intensive at times.  Even without flash.

I've been using it, and sometimes it's great, sometimes it's been a
little slow to pull up pages believe it or not if they have flash on
em just like Eric said.

I can't wait for it to get done tho.. I love my firefox, but everyone
is right it's a little bloated.. but maybe thats what you get when try
to be as cross platform as that app is right?
