not everyone has computers that can easily run massive, obnoxious scripts/flash animations slowing to a crawl
well that is a completely different thing.
Ok, but even so, it's silly to subject ourselves to some distraction just because we are humanly capable of shielding ourselves from it when there is a reasonable alternative.
Also, I just found out that I can't do Ctrl+I to use italics when making a post in chrome. Man.
'Normal' scrolling feels slower now (must be related to the addition of middle mouse scroll) and space/shift+space can no longer be used as alternatives to Page Up/Down.
Other new features are form auto-complete, full page zoom, browsing profiles and proper restoration of closed windows in the New Tab page. The Chrome team has also changed its update 'channels' (new channel changer needs to be downloaded from here) - it's now stable (default, quarterly updates), beta (previously dev, monthly updates) and dev (where you can get Chrome 2.0, weekly updates).
The new feature I like the most is browsing profiles. Ionut Alex Chitu has a good description of it (and the other new features):
profiles are a great way to separate Chrome's settings in different categories: you could create a work profile with its own homepage, bookmarks and browsing history and profile for your personal projects. The great thing about Chrome is that you don't have to close the browser to change your profile: just open a new window in a separate profile.

Sure, if some shit is dancing across the text, but that doesn't really happen with animated gifs, just flash.
The biggest thing was the shock of realizing how many ads were blocked in Firefox when I started using Chrome at work.

Chrome was indy once?
And have fun using Opera. I'm sure the two of you will be very happy together, what with its features and extra pixels.
