[chromium-dev] Lifehacker browser tests say Chrome uses the most memory
Forgive me if I shouldn't be posting this kind of thing to this group, but I've seen similar things posted here before. Lifehacker posted a series of browser benchmarks here http://lifehacker.com/539/browser-speed-tests-the-windows-7-results and in their memory use test Chrome came out using the most. It's entirely possible their benchmarking methodology was flawed, but in any case I thought you should be aware.

[chromium-dev] Re: Chromium security UI choices
I do think our host-versus-everything-else coloring in the address bar helps with phishing URLs even if users can't articulate what the different colored sections are. Would this be a good time to revisit this issue: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1971 Both Firefox and IE highlight the domain and not the subdomain to help the user spot phishing like http://yourbank.com.badsite.com/ but Chrome does not.

Did you have any luck?
