I used to use opera at first but then i start using firefox 3.5 . Its a great one and i still think Firefox is the best considering every perspectives.

The version numbers no long matter - except maybe in the order of magnitude faster than IE. Unfortunately, as a developer, I cannot switch entirely to Chrome until they release an equivalent of Firebug. Its incredible and also frightening has quickly Chrome has evolved.

I agree that the version number seems to have jumped for no apparent reason & a freeze for 3.0.* should bump it to 3.1.* I personally mainly use chrome & find that when i try websites in firefox/opera/safari the tabs feel clunky & hard to move, close in multiples & de-group/re-group - mostly it's how the browser feels rather than just this one aspect, but that's the one that stands out the most to me ...

I personally mainly use chrome & find that when i try websites in firefox/opera/safari the tabs feel clunky & hard to move, close in multiples & de-group/re-group – mostly it’s how the browser feels rather than just this one aspect, but that’s the one that stands out the most to me …

I know the tests are not fair (I should have disabled the addons of IE and Firefox, but I wanted to test a real life situation). The tests are not statistically relevant either, but so are the artificial Javascript tests. I cleared the cache of the browsers before starting the tests: Website - IE - Chrome - Firefox www.neowin.net 15.937s 15.634s 7.366s www.apple.com 5.152s 3.622s 5.622s www.digg.com 9.432s 10.328s 7.771s www.lifehacker.com 16.778s 12.586s 15.200s http://maps.google.com 2.461s 3.702s 4.790s www.ghacks.net 11.841s 13.85s 3.934s Both Firefox 3.5 and IE8 were faster than Chrome 3 in 50% of the cases, and Firefox had 12 heavy extensions enabled (adblock, wot, firebug, videodownloadhelper, stumbleupon, greasemonkey, etc) To prove my point about the speed nonsense, I did some tests using www.numion.com/stopwatch comparing Chrome 3 (latest beta with no extensions enabled), Firefox 3.5 (with 12 extensions enabled) and IE8 (with 2 extensions enabled).

It's v4 now and Chrome doesn't even have smooth scrolling or RSS support, let alone a strong extension platform or serious Mac and Linux support. I want features, Google, I don't care if using the new version of Chrome my favourite sites load 0.01 seconds faster. That why I use Firefox 3.5 and IE8. And those people who care so much about these little speed improvements are either paranoids or Google fanboys and should get a life. Seriously. This is ridiculous.

What i felt from google chrome is that even though its very fast browser other than K-meleon, still it doesnot have my favorite extensions what i have for firefox, hence i still prefer firefox and K-Meleon over other browsers.

Its speed is incredible, and I'm glad that it's improving so rapidly. As a former firefox user, I can say that while the extensibility is excellent, the overall performance is lackluster.

This is ridiculous... A couple new features DOES NOT give you the permission to bump Major Versions. Google is trying too hard, and is failing miserably. They are cheating out the other browsers, and trying to look reputable. I still use Firefox, and no version bumping will ever stop me from using Firefox. Okay.
