Currently there are two things missing from chrome for me. The first is an ad blocker, Google would love that huh? :) The second is a good RSS feed implementation.

I’m reasonably happy with firefox other than all the hard drive thrashing it does at start-up, unsure whether this is caused by bookmarks or plugins but it blags my head a bit.

I couldn’t fathom switching to Google Chrome from Firefox because I would miss Greatmonkey, the Better Gmail extension and Google Toolbar – until I tried it out.

I have never looked back because the sheer speed and simplicity of the awesome Chrome browser cancels out any negatives.

Occasionally I go back to Firefox if I’m on a computer without Chrome and it seems just downright sluggish in comparison.

Chrome RULES in my opinion.

No extensions nor an extension community = no new user. It don’t matter how fast it is to me.

I don’t use Google Chrome because it doesn’t support the Google Toolbar. And I like to use this toolbar, so . . .

Errrrr… I don’t need it. I’m mostly happy with Firefox 3 – with it’s layout (and ability to change it), themes, extensions, plugins etc.

The almost only thing that bugs me with FF is long startup time sometimes, but all is a tradeoff – you give something for something else. I give loading speed for extensions.
