How else do you think Chrome gets to be so fast? The Chocolate Factory knows your entire browsing history so it just pre-loads your favourite pages before you even realize that you want them.

You are kidding, right?
So I jump on your computer and browse to red-hot-midget-porn.net and find that the zoom level isnt the default value...
Do I conclude that (A) you don't like red-hot-midget-porn?, or (B) you do like red-hot-midget-porn?
Well in any case, I'm pretty sure that everyone likes red-hot-midget-porn, so maybe this is a bad example.

Yeah, seems this only affects the beta versions from their Dev channel.

It depends on whether it's zoomed in or out.
