Is Chrome Browser that crash hot?

Lately, the Internet is raving about the Chrome Browser from Google. While there are some features that I like and are better than Firefox and IE, it has problem in handling basic layouts.

This is the portion of a normal page on a small screen Fujitsu P1510 running with 120DPI settings when viewed by IE6:

Notice the graph has been incorrectly laid out covering part of the text. Below is the same portion rendered on Google Chrome 3.0.195.21:
Chrome suffers the same layout problem as in Firefox. So far the only browser that handles this basic layout correctly is the 'ancient' IE6 browser, despise so much hot-air being pumped into the Net about Chrome's JavaScript superiority.

Is it just pure hype? The figures don't lie.
