Google Chrome has very few bugs considering it's a beta. I don't think it's much more buggy then the other browsers. The security issues are not bugs however, they are rooted in Google's design decisions.

Of course they're bugs. There's already a stack overflow exploit, which is most definitely a bug. They also got some Safari bugs due to copying old code I suppose.

 

 

 Yeah, they both use webkit, don't they? What confuses me is why Chrome uses an old version of webkit. The latest version of Safari (not released yet) uses the latest version, and that scores 100 on the Acid3, so why didn't Chrome use it?

Methinks this may have been in development for quite some time, and when the new webkit finally rolled around, it was too late to implement it.

I don't know much about WebKit, but I guess you're right.

I'm expecting Google to release a new version of Chrome quite soon. Maybe in a month or two. The browser's face is already quite polished, it just needs more features and improved stability.

Most importantly, they need stringent security audits and to use the latest libraries if they want to be taken seriously as a secure browser. First impressions count a lot.
