Minor gripe, but especially in a time when people should know about exponential growth and stuff it kind of bothers me when it's used like this.
'Exponentially' refers specifically to a change in rate of growth. You could say 'profits are growing exponentially' or 'things are getting exponentially worse', but it doesn't quite make sense for this case. I would say 'Chrome is orders of magnitude worse' or something.
