Well, yeah, but althogh Chrome is doing a good job in terms of running the tabs in seperate processes it seems too scary for me right now in terms of privacy. I uninstalled it from all my machines. I don't like the fact that it leaves the googleupdate backdoor:
npgoogleoneclick5.dll, and IE BHO: goopdatebho.dll
Also even after you uninstall it, it leaves 2 scheduled tasks in the system.
Also I don't like the spy^H^H^H "usage tracking" features that other forks like IRON feel is good to remove:

OTOH, yes, firefox is a bad on CPU usage. I'll try the betas.
