My feelings exactly, not to mention that when I changed to chrome, Firefox didn't have WebSocket support which I was using for development. (It does now with 4.)

The The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy quote was a plus. :)

Hit the nail on the head. Firefox will always be remembered fondly for me, but Chrome is so deliciously lightweight.

Hop on the dev channel release (7.0+) and enable hardware acceleration. Chrome positively flies.

I feel pretty much the same way. My big issue was having things open up in new tabs - from the address bar, bookmarks, history, and from searching. And I didn't want to have to worry about ALT-ENTER...

Finally, I found ChromePlus - which has a few quirks, but works nearly perfectly - and has this capability.

I miss Firefox, but Chrome is SO much faster, and it makes a difference on this several-year-old-refurb-box that I have.

I do wish we had noscript for Chrome, though. The only close extension I found was "notscript", which was... inferior. Didn't work all the time.

Besides the fact that I don't see any particular value in this post, I believe nowadays it's not only about the browser but it's environment and community around. If I'm to switch to Chrome, I need almost 100% coverage of my current add-ons. Since there's f.ex. still no tree-style-tabs (a priority for me), I won't even bother trying to use Chrome as my primary browser.

The latest beta of Firefox 4 runs much more smoothly and quickly on my Mac than Firefox 3.6. Version 4 is the last chance for Firefox. If it isn't considerably faster and more stable than version 3, I'll be off to Chrome.

What is the point of this being on Hacker News? Someone started using Chrome yesterday, apparently, so now they want the world to know? Now it will get the dogpile of "me too!" comments.

This is unnecessary noise. Are we next going to have people telling us they've decided that Nike's are their new favourite shoe?

Flagged.
