Having said that..... did I mention ?..... that I also tried the 6 URL's that some Korean dude said would crash Chrome or display the calculator on my desktop, as proof of concept that any box running Chrome could be compromised ? Well it did nothing at all (I have screenshots of this as well).
Actually I like the minimalistic Chrome looks, it does all it needs to do (will get Firefox add-ons later).
It is safe, privacy minded and light, very light with 4 tabs open I see just 23MB of RAM used, try that with IE or Firefox.
Lastly it is fast, as fast as light
