As such, I was pretty excited to see how harmonize’s player performs with Google’s new browser, Google Chrome. In short, it works great. I have yet to come across any glitches at all, which is incredible for a new browser. This is probably due to their use of WebKit, the same core as Apple’s Safari browser, but the performance enhancements are impressive in themselves. Our normally crippling shuffle feature barely causes a blip. Resizing the queue with thousands of songs displayed works far faster than any other browser.

Update: It seems to have major performance issues when it runs out of real memory. However, it’s not crashing, and pages that use less memory are responding very well. It seems like they might have some interactions to smooth out, but the architecture seems remakably stable for a 1.0 release.
