    I've been using Chrome all morning and whilst it's a good browser i've decided to drop it due to the huge number of ads i was getting on certain web pages that FF usually blocks. apart from that there was an unusual amount of activity from my hard drive which made me suspicious.

    I'm sure they'll polish out any of the imperfections.

    I also have this problem, a lot of HD activity that not occurs with IE or Firefox....
    Any one else reports this "problem"? Is it some sort of optimization by the browser?

    No, it's Google searching for your bank account details.

    And Buleste...your pr0n is the first thing they will take. They are building a new Data Centre to hold it.
