Any Tips On Using Chrome

Do to many problems with unrepairable Internet Explorer I've moved across to Chrome.

First impressions are good but I'd appreciate any tips on settings, what to watch out for, etc from those used to using Chrome.

Thanks
Waddle you do eh?

    It doesn't bite.

    It's just a web browser. You open it up, you go surf stuff. Bookmark things if you like them.

    OK here's one. I never noticed this with older machines but Chrome on my Win 7 64-bit laptop works better if I set a limit on the cache size. If I don't, every so often it grinds to a halt until the cache is cleared manually. Unfortunately Mozilla have not so far included cache-size in the settings, so you have to fiddle it. See here.

    Thanks fenlander, that's the sort of thing I was after when I asked for what to watch out for.

    And thanks to googler for letting me know that it is a web browser.
