"Chrome was also the only browser that wasn't cracked in seconds
or minutes in the recent PWN2OWN hacker competition. In fact,
Chrome never was busted.
"So, why isn't Chrome my number one? Well, for one thing, it's
Windows only, and I'm not a Windows-only kind of computer user.

organizing the tabs by color-coding, I found that managing tabs was
instantly much easier."
