A quote worth noting from the article: "Some of these issues - such as the "infinite history" or the antiquated style of process isolation - may be driven by Google's business needs, rather than the well-being of the Internet as a whole. Until this situation changes, our only recourse is to test a lot - and always have a backup plan."
This glosses over how anti-user infinite history is.
The problem of the ever-expanding cache is annoying but easy to deal with - Ctrl+Shift+Del, select only "cache", then "obliterate since the beginning of time".
But if you follow this procedure with your browsing history, your (or at least, my) browsing experience is significantly degraded because all your URL autocompletes are gone, at least until you re-visit all your regular sites. You can tell chrome to delete, say, just your browsing history from the last week, but that doesn't help you when what you want to do is delete all browsing history except that from the last week (to preserve your autocompletes).
In what possible world could process isolation be driven by business needs? For that matter to describe it as being 'antiquated' is rather bizarre. Every modern browser is moving in that direction including IE10 for security and performance reasons.
For that matter, I have no idea what 'infinite history' means, every browser records history and I have no clue how that could possibly impact performance in the slightest.
