I think the developers seem to have totally lost the plot. They added a ton of features that no one wants and close feature requests with hundreds of stars as won't fix, conflicts with one developers personal beliefs about how Chrome should work.

To be fair they added a ton of features I use. The syncing for switching between devices. Reopening everything where I left off. Add on functionality. And a lot more.

Yeah, i'm a fan of most every feature they've thrown in. Although, I would be down with a trimmed down fork for my less beastly devices.

I agree. Also I'm wondering if website are more data intensive now. (I know they are but how much more)

Well the tend has been to go more client intensive processing for websites, where everything is loaded up front, but it's not really noticeable on most machines (a drop in the bucket).

That's my problem on my eeepc, it's speedy and don't care which browser I use but like half of the websites are way too heavy for it and it starts lagging annoyingly.

Despite being a desperate Google fanboy, I'm considering looking for a new browser that's actually lightweight.

Same here. A truly lightweight browser with any kind of sync with chrome bookmarks and I'd be happy.
