I gave Google Chrome a quick spin. At least two problems came out:

• Digest-based authentication isn’t handle correctly, the sent request does not include the query causing 400 Bad Request
• Google Analytics will randomly crash the Flash plugin freezing the whole browser (with all the talk of isolated processes…)

On the immediate positive side it fixed my main pet peeve with Mozilla Prism — the inability to change font size, so I replaced the Prism shortcuts with Chrome applications. It is also really, really fast.

All in all it’s fast and cool, but needs lots more polish before massive adoption.

Just some interesting tidbits that Mike Aizatsky mentioned about Google build process — the executables can be 300 MB big (’cause everything is linked statically) and they have a home-grown build system for making them. Cool stuff!

Recently I constantly run into the same problem — Google Reader shows that some category contains unread entries whereas when you click on them it show nothing. Check out the screenshot where I apparently have 8 unread items, but although I have “All items” selected nothing shows.
