    Firefox or Chrome?

    I've noticed that Google Chrome now has extensions support, which is the only thing binding me to Firefox. Is Google Chrome good enough or should I stay with Firefox for a while longer?

    I've included a poll, just for arguments sake.

    I've been a Firefox fan for awhile now, and did not really see the benefits of chrome, when I used it. Speed-wise, they're pretty equal, Chrome's got V8, and now Firefox has Tracemonkey. I'll be sticking with Firefox for now, considering it's more mature, especially in the add-ons department. I'd give Chrome a spin, but I predominately use OS X, and Chrome on that platform appears to be low priority for now.

    By now I'm just used to Firefox. I've used chrome a little bit and I see no real need to switch. I'm stubborn when it comes to change.

    chrome 4 is around 8x faster than the 3.6b of ff for me, and a lil over 10x over the current release(3.5.5)

    on top of that, it has adblock, so I now have 0 need for ff.

    Chrome. The extension support is pretty good and it's faster. So, overall, better browser.

    Plus one tab crash doesn't crash the whole browser.

    It'll be a great many years until I switch from FF and Firebug to Chrome's "webkit default" debugger. Plus Gecko is the most sane rendering engine, and the text selection looks so much better. The text selection in Webkit bugs the hell outa me.

    FF is bloated as hell. And Webkit is many times sexier. And renders much better than Gecko. Chat, remember Webkit passes Acid test, Gecko gets maybe 50% I think it was less.

    I use either or. Just depends which release is better than the other .

    Though, if some good extensions come out, chances are I'll be sticking with chrome.
