1: Chrome can automatically detect some internet browsers installed on a system and,when run for the first time,it imports bookmarks,saved passwords,settings,and browsing history.

2: Thanks to its minimalist users interface,it can,firstly,maximize the screen real estate available for displaying websites and secondly,substantially reduce the amount of clutter present due to very few buttons onscreen.

3: Chrome's main user interface options are strongly reminiscent of Apple's Safari Browser,while the location of the settings is based on the internet explorer interface.The buttons seems to be borrowed from Windows Vista.

4: While testing the beta version of the browser,We found that each tab in Chrome runs its own process and crash protection is a great addition.However,the memory footprint of an opened tab is exorbitant (15-20 mb per tab).There are various opinions and views online regarding memory and CPU usage by this software.
The browser also features a process management utility called "Task Manager" accessible via the Developer options or by pressing (Shift) + (Esc) keys.This shows a list of currently open tabs and plug-ins along with the associated memory,CPU and network usage.

5: Some other issues with Chrome include the inability to turn off Javascript or only allow specific websites to use it; inability to turn off Flash;delayed scrolling on webpages;lack of any extensions;privacy issues saves browsing habits;security vulnerabilities

There are also built-in tools for web developers,such as "inspect element' option,which not only displays every element of a webpage but also shows the size and time to load it.
