There seems to be an issue with my page here: http://www.lonewulf.eu

When hovering over the thumbnails the image moves a bit on the right, and it only happens on Chrome.

My css:

.img{
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)";
    filter:alpha(opacity=50);
    -moz-opacity: 0.5; 
    opacity: 0.5;
    -khtml-opacity: 0.5;
    display:block;
    border:1px solid #121212;
}
.img:hover{
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=100)";
    filter:alpha(opacity=100);
    -moz-opacity: 1; 
    opacity: 1;
    -khtml-opacity: 1;  
    display:block;
}

Another solution would be to use 

-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;

on the hover element that has the opacity. Backface-visibility relates to transform, so @Beskow's has got something to do with it. Since it is a webkit specific problem you only need to specify the backface-visibility for webkit. There are other vendor prefixes.

See http://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/b/backface-visibility/ for more info.
