1. Comment - Google Analytics starts tracking Chrome, with intriguing results

   I would believe the 6% for the Beta News website. For instance I am using Chrome right now and have been since its debut.
   
   It's not like the average user comes to Beta News... usually techies of some variety.

2. Comment - Pints of Guinness all 'round! 8.3 million Firefox 3 downloads

   I wonder if this is coming from a Mac user? Sounds like it could be the same old argument of why IE load faster for a Windows user and Safari load faster for a Mac user. Well maybe because they are integrated into the OS!?!?
   
   If not then I would have to agree that it would only be because of the lack of anti phishing, anti spyware, etc. support for Safari so it loads less into the memory.
   
   The funny thing is that the latest version of Safari should be slightly faster than even the new Firefox 3.0 with regards to it Javascript Engine (Its speed ability to load many types of web pages). So even the "Firefox loads web pages faster" wouldn't be correct. Unless you have an out of date Safari.
   
   Anyways... do some research before posting.

   After you "Clear Private Data" it may appear that the address bar still contains history... but it DOES NOT. It will though still contain whatever bookmarks you still have either on the toolbar or in your regular bookmarks folder.
   
   I suggest becoming familiar with the browser for more than 24 hours before your start criticizing it.
