I'm really enjoying the tab feature where you can take a tab and make it it's own window so smoothly and effortlessly and then put it back again. I also like the multi colored robotic eye that is watching me at all times!

This is also in Firefox for a while now (since version 3, maybe?).

Firefox is tired. I'm running the beta of Chrome (extensions!!!! Adblock & Autocopy) man that shit renders pages so fast it's like I got a hardware upgrade.

Yeah, I've been using Chrome for everything. It's on all of my machines including my work machine. It really is a noticeable difference, plus I love the way it handles plug ins.

welll..after a week with chrome...I'm back on ff...
it's so much better in so many ways...
chrome is (still) buggy...I've actually learned to appreciate ff more

Yeah, that was my experience back when Chrome just came out. Out of interest, are you on Mac or PC? (with all the Mac/PC threads recently, I really should know this already )

Tried it, didn't find enough in it to switch from FF. Opera is also good, I just prefer the look and feel of FF. Chrome was buggy and I barely noticed any difference in loading or rendering times, perhaps a fraction of a second over FF, nothing so lightning quick that I had to pull out the mobile and text everyone to change IMMEDIATELY.

I find Safari to be the fastest browser, but I don't like it on Windows much either, finding more site incompatibilities with it than most others. Besides, Google are becoming the evil empire with many of their paid google ads linking to crapware and spam. I'm sticking with FF for now. It is the best balance of speed and useability and isn't badly bloated, although it's not as lean as it once was. This is on my Dell XPS Core2Duo machine running Vista 32 Extreme SP2, 4GB ram, NVidia 9400m graphics.

The advertisement blocker will disappear by time. Google is a marketing tool. Its their only source of income.

They want to track where you buy your things etc.

but seriously, until chrome lets you manage bookmarks, i dont see how it is a viable browser alternative

CTRL-shift-B manage bookmarks

installed Firefox 3.6 yesterday, gave it a spinn, well it takes like 5-6 times longer to start than Chrome, and it just crashed on me again.
CHrome FTW!!!!

nope, does nothing

and command-shift-B only shows/hides the bookmark bar

Lol, Chrome is pretty gosh darn auwsum. I just don't get why it's called Chrome?

FF 3.6 works just as good as Chrome for me and no crashes. I think Chrome does render some really intensive flash graphics pages a tad faster but otherwise nothing to make me want to change.
