I also can't scroll up in Chrome. It's like being a dog.

Scroll wheel?

I have to say that other than the lack of "addons", this browser kicks ass. I like the layout and I like the speed. When an adblocker exists for it, I will definitely make it my browser.

Looks pretty cool so far, hopefully with a few minor tweaks it will replace Firefox. I have no problems trolling...umm scrolling.

For me it isn't ordinary scrolling, it is when you press the scroll wheel and then use that.

The scrolling issue seems common:

Also, I want my Foxmarks.

It's a great browser, but not being able to scroll up sucks. I'm sure it'll get fixed.

The larger problem is one of add-ons: I need Foxmarks or similar. I need AdBlock or similar. Until replacements for these two items have been developed, I'll be using Firefox.

Fantastic web browser. There are a few sites that do seem optimized specifically for FireFox, but by and large it is noticeably faster than Firefox and IE8. Google Docs flies.

And it is much, much prettier than FF3, which to be honest, looks like it hit every branch when it fell out of the ugly tree.

However, it really needs extensions. I need AdBlock+ and IETab.

They are planning an Extension API and I imagine that those will be some of the first to be made using it.

I found an awesome gem of a comment on a PC World article about Chrome.

The commenter started with an item by item explanation of HIS view of the good and bad of Chrome and then finished with this:
"Overall, based on this article, not actual use of the program, Chrome is not a great beta, but that is the point of betas. If anyone wishes to give it a try, go ahead, and add to this want you think. Personnaly, I will stick with Firefox, at least until the release version."

So those of you who haven't tried it and have no intention of trying it should speak up about your likes and dislikes!

All I know is that Mac OS XXI is horrible. I'm holding out for XXII.
