I've tested Chrome version 6.0.472.53 beta, the latest release of the Chrome browser under Fedora 13 x64_86. It's fast, but still unstable. In testing against some of my perl applications that dynamically create html pages, Chrome fails to perform correctly when passing input from the html page, when the submit button is click; because, Chrome still lack some standardized html that is present in IE and FF. Chrome also fails to pass certain input from html pages dynamically created within perl applications in a way that PostgreSQL can handle. For example, PostgreSQL always returns the following message when input from a Chrome html form dynamically created by perl is submitted to update a PostgreSQL table: #--------------------- DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR: value too long for type character varying(16) at Sm/Sm_database.pm line 165. The SQL pass to the database Server was: UPDATE smorders SET firstname = 'stanley', lastname = 'barnett', ccompany = '', cstreet = '6045 hwy 476', ccity = 'clayhole', cstate = 'KY', czipcode = '41317', ccountry = 'United States', cbusph = '606-666-7826', cfax = '', cidno = 'pet', cidno_help = 'pet', ctaxable = 'no', cemail = '[email protected]', web_site = '', cardtype = '', cardholder = '', cardnumber = '[email protected]', cardmonth = '', cardyear = '', comment = '', password = 'thaa5PPEuiKWo', thetime = 'now' WHERE clientno = '4' #----------------------------- When clicking on an html submit button, after this error occurs, the Chrome browser unexpectedly closes by blinking out. Chrome is still beta and has a ways to go. It is missing certain functionality to completely handle all the standardized html/css/etc out there. Chrome has only been available for a couple of year now. I expect it to become slower as it mature and its code base grows. Still, I like Chrome when doing general browsing.
