    Gets extensions? Why?

    If you want a browser that has tons of gadgets and crap, use Firefox. Chrome is made for a fast, simple browsing experience.

    Looking at the mac version of chrome it clearly takes up more tabs and tool bar space than the windows equivalents which reminds me of Microsofts horrible IE6 with its space hoggin ability !!! heres a link of what im talking about

    the UI just doesnt work in OS X. the "tabs on top" works better in windows.

    iron out the UI, and we're in business.

    To firefox? Why not to safari? I use safari for it's speed, and for top sites. If Chrome is that much faster, and has an add-on to duplicate top sites, I'll switch.

    @MacAttack7388: I like Safari too, partly because it means one less piece of software to install on a new Mac and also because it's so visually subdued. I hate how other browsers have toolbars littered with colorful icons. I know, I know, there's themes to make Firefox look however you wish, I just can't be bothered with pimpin' my browser all day.

    How is Safari 4 not already a challenger to Firefox? On the Mac, it kicks the crap out of Firefox as it is. And for the people who use FIrefox over Safari in the name of features, they're not going to give a shit about Chrome.

    @SysRq: I completely agree with you. I did switch briefly from Safari to Firefox until Safari 4 was released, I tried it out, and was stunned by the realisation that I didn't have to wait thirty seconds to boot my browser and load a webpage. I haven't even booted up Firefox since.

    @SysRq: You seem to imply that choosing a browser for features instead of speed is a mistake. I would have to disagree with you. I use Firefox, and I'm not even considering switching. If you notice, those times are in ms. As in milliseconds. As in 1/1000th of a second. I'd trade .5 sec for a huge library of add-ons any day. Do you really think that is what matters in a browser is thousandths of seconds of load time? Welcome to the real world, where a lot of functionality is more valuable than a little performance.

    And to anyone who uses the argument that time adds up, and by using Chrome I will save a significant amount of time in the long run, I could get one add-on for Firefox that Chrome doesn't have that will save me 10x or 100x as much time. (I don't have a specific add-on in mind. There's lots that save time. Pick one.)

    @Yossarian Threepwood: Adblock and StumbleUpon were the only two add ons I used in Firefox, and both can be used with Safari. It's so much nicer to have a faster and better looking browser than a feature bloated and slow one.

    @SysRq: I have to agree, Firefox 3.5.2 kept crashing on me so I defected to Safari. Even scrolling pages is faster.

    @ForestFire0: I'm not trying to say that performance > features or vice versa. I'm just saying the great thing about the "browser war" is that people like you, who value features, can have a browser you like, and people like me, who value performance, can have a browser we like. One is not more important than the other universally. People have needs, people have opinions, people have preferences.

    I find Safari 4 to be much faster than Firefox. I don't really care about add-ons, the few add-ons I care about I can get for Safari. When I have a page that is acting weird in Safari (rare but it happens) I load it in Firefox. That's why I keep them side by side in my dock. Different tools for different problems.

    How about Camino? In my personal experience that seems to be really fast. I switch between that and Safari, and they both seem to be about the same, firefox always seemed slower on a mac, and so does opera. I know there are some tweaks you can do to make firefox faster, but I don't understand why I would need to tweak a finished product. Shouldn't it come set up to be as fast as it can be? I am pumped for this though, when they released it for pc, I was disappointed that I had removed my windows partition...

    @djdare: I was a big fan of Camino (used it as my primary browser for a couple of years), but recently it's lagged too far behind the big boys to be my everyday browser. Quite a few bugs that just never seem to get taken care of and average speed compared to Safari 4 and Firefox 3.5 IMHO.

    @medopal: Do you have the login issues with Safari 4? I love browsing with it, but having to re-log-in to every site (like this one), forced me to drop it for Firefox again.


    FF is such a resource hog and still won't even remember favicons.


    Ugh. I want one browser that works right on most pages, is that really so hard?
