    Couple of annoyances with Chrome:
    1. The "Alt+Down arrow" doesn't show the list of choices in a select box input field. It just selects the next choice. To see all choices you have to use the mouse and click on the "down arrow" button.
    2. Strangely, the guys at blogger.com don't seem to be using Chrome. If you go to add a new gadget to your blog using Chrome, you simply can't.

    Great interview with Bruce Henry of LiquidPlanner - thanks! Per your question on the video, YES, you should break these interviews out so people can link to them. I don't want to have to tell people to "click here" and "fast forward" to minute 24:00.

    First day of Firefox was a mess! Remember Mozilla Navigator? Gag!

    I have noticed a few minor glitches on gruvie.com as well in chrome - although they are mostly styling issues, nothing severe.

    Send a link to a friend? I'm not sure that I follow.

    I'm sure you're aware that this is still in beta, right? It's surprising that some of these things fell through the cracks but I don't think Google entered the browser market to fail. I've had this debate a number of times with other friends who complain about Chrome's bugs and oversights. In the browsers first iteration it's a rather huge achievement. The speed is unmatched by any other officially released browser - I say this because FF 3.1 looks very promising. I'm not a Chrome fanboy but I'm immensely impressed by what I see so far. I'm still waiting on extensions/plugins and bookmark sharing before making the leap, and I agree there are a number of bugs that Google is well aware of. Give it time, it still is beta.

    First it's cool, now it's not - wish everyone would just leave Chrome alone now & let them work on it a bit. Why do you expect it to be so perfect??

    If everyone "just left chrome alone" then the developers wouldn't be well aware of the problems; user input is essential.

    "Send a link to a friend? I’m not sure that I follow."

    In firefox I can go File->Send Link and in IE I can go File->Send->Link by email but on chrome, I cant see how to do that other than to cut and paste the link and then fire up email and load the title and link by hand.

    I've been using Chrome with FF.

    These are some of my problems.

    - Sound does not work sometimes with Flash
    - My scroll wheel only can scroll down. (Really weird BTW)
    - I seem to get more DNS errors with Chrome.
