I still use firefox because of their add-on, I'm used to using hot keys to launch my favorite sites and unfortunately chrome doesn't offer that.

Opera owns everything for my needs. Mouse gestures, speed dial, customized inline searches, file hosting, media server, mail client, IRC client, account syncronization, etc. not to mention it already has ad-blocking and script-blocking capabilities built right in without having to install any add-ons.

At 1:47, you can clearly see the mouse being clicked before the Lightning button gets pushed. 
I've been using Chrome for the past 6 or 7 months now.
Can't go back to any other browser.

Anyone else having scrolling problems? Pointer always gets locked to the scroll bar so the page moves up/down with your mouse. So fucking annoying Posted via RS Mobile | |

i haven't encounter any stuff you guys listed. Flash worked for me and no problem with scrolling either. Only problem listed above is opera for me =P some site flash videos work and some doesn't. Not a bad browser just too much stuff in there for my liking. I prefer simple and clean.

Switched about 2 months ago. FF kept crashing for some reason and was noticeably slower than Chrome on some stuff. CHROME FTW! I still use Firefox when I need to though

FF has been crashing a lot for me as well, so I'm giving Chrome a shot. I like how fast it is, but the biggest thing for me right now is you can't access your previous history through the address bar. Or am I missing something?

If there's a feature you want in chrome, look for an extension first. Chances are, it'll be there.

^Thanks...but like I said I didn't even try to search yet...
After playing with Chrome for a bit, I don't see what lures people to switch from FF. I do like the minimalist layout though, when compared FF really seems quite bulky and takes up a lot of space even though I don't have any bars added on.

I thought that I'd just give this thread a little bump:
Right now I'm using Opera as my main browser instead of Firefox. Sometimes it seems a bit slower, but the mouse gestures are fucking awesome...you can even make your own. And when you switch tabs there's something that pops up like when you alt+tab.
All in all, personally I really like Opera...even though it seems a bit slow sometimes...
And for you guys with Chrome, I totally understand why you guys endorse it, but personally I like Opera better and I think you guys should give it a try too.
