I was following @firefox on Twitter and there's quite a lot of fanfare down there at their HQ. Pretty cool to see the history traced all the way back to Netscape 1.0 in 1993! Who remembers that? :p

i tried using chrome, i like the interface, but i don't like the lack of third party add-on support. no ad blockers.. unless im mistaken.

Furthermore i have firefox on every machine in my house, and i love it.

Ditto. I keep Chrome around for random quick surfing, and I run the Developer's build so I have access to Xmarks syncing with my Firefox. That being said, I love the extensions in FF too much, memory leaks and all. :p

Opera still owns the shit out of it for my needs, but at least it's better than IE.

The only reason I have it installed on my PC is for my GF.

Opera is fantastic! But I still like FF better. Tried Chromium on my Mac last night. VERY quick, but needs moar Extensions. /:

Can you scroll on chrome yet? I remember downloading it before and I couldn't even hold my scroll wheel down and speed down the page.
