what no googly Chrome topic?

10 tabs arent much of an issue for me. Its more like 500+ when it becomes a problem on my system.

The problem is in IE7 on this Vista system each tab consumes nearly a meg of ram and closing it does not free that meg up. Eventually I get to about 500-800 meg of ram being used since it never gets freed up when the tabs are closed. At this point the browser freaks out and needs to be killed off.

I open thousands of browser windows in a day I am sure of it now because in a typical day I will have to kill IE no less than 2 times from the task manager that I now keep in the task bar so that it is just handy. Slop on Microsoft's part for sure. Not so much the idea and coding, but slop from not testing and listening to their beta testers regarding the problem.

Oh and back to the OP, I think that Chrome has potential but it is definately not A grade yet. It definately has issues rendering pages that pass W3C code standards in the current state.
