yes, it's got a way to go. i think it's currently stuck, actually.
i confused it trying to fix the mess it made copying my chrome bookmarks in with my existing firefox bookmarks (most of the chrome bookmarks are the ones i originally imported
from firefox. thus eleventy-bunyip duplicates, joy).

Chrome is a work in progress.

i think that sums it up pretty well, actually.
except that, as i said, i think it's actually getting worse with progressive versions, not better. alas.
i also launch my browser first and then leave it open ; but i've noticed that firefox tends to use more and more memory when i do that, which chrome doesn't (usually) seem to do as much (and i'm sure you're right, it's probably an extension causing trouble. the trouble is, the whole point of using firefox, in my eyes, is for the extensions, so i don't really want to give them up...). i like the lightweight tab behaviour in chrome ; i love being able to move them around easily, including pulling a tab out of a window. firefox can do that now too (it couldn't yet when chrome came out) but when you remove / add a tab it seems to reload the page as well, which seems pointless and annoying.
i'm not even close to using chrome as my main browser (like you) but i like it for "casual browsing". although i admit i'm not liking it so much today. i'm not using the dev channel ; it's a "toy" browser for me, i'm not interested in putting up with quirks and crashes and bugs just to be on the bleeding edge with this one. (actually i'm rarely if ever interested in putting up with quirks, crashes and bugs to be on the bleeding edge, whatever the context, now that i think about it.
