The zoom issue was fixed earlier this week:

This is bizarre, that IE8 sends all addresses you type in the addressbar to MS is broadly announced by them as a 'feature' and now the IE guy says google doing the same is nefarious? Make up your mind already idiot.

I tried installing Chrome for the first time on a Windows 7 system yesterday and it certainly lives up to the Beta tag.

It installed in the user's private area rather than Program Files, and it refused to work with the popular Foxit reader plugin. So, I'm sticking with the Fox for now.

Based on Chromium but with enhanced privacy and security as expected from Zee Germans :)
