"Sergey: There is also the security aspect. In a recent hacker competition, Chrome was the only one to escape unscathed in terms of security vulnerabilities. And more stable."

When, oh when will people learn that touting the security of a product by how well it did in hacking competitions is not a measure of how secure it is?

There is no single measure of security. The hacking competition mentioned is a perfectly valid data point though.

Nothing wrong with comparing against a single benchmark, regardless of how good/bad the benchmark itself is. On the other hand, how would you have gone about measuring the security of browsers in a meaningful way?
