I want to like Google Chrome, but for some reason it seems like when i use Chrome my macbook pro's fans shoot up. Even just doing normal browsing.. although it does naturally happen to youtube based stuff
Also, all the browsers have a flash block add on where you can just click to activate the flash. Here's a link to one of Chrome's. I always install flash blockers on my browers. Clicktoflash is the best one I've used though and that's only on Safari.
