I've given up on Chrome. To many updates screwing up to many things. They change things to often requiring an add on to restore it to the way it was before the update. The scroll bars come to mind as well as the new tab page. There's lots of complaints being posted over at the Chrome forums but the developers seem to be oblivious to them or just don't care.
I switched to Pale Moon which seems to be just as fast if not faster then Chrome. I noticed that it's easier on memory then Chrome as well.
Pale Moon is an Open Source, Firefox-based web browser. I'm very happy with it.
