    Would you ditch firefox for Google Chrome?

    Although Google recently released a faster version of Chrome and improved tab features http://www.webmasterworld.com/redire...g/chrome/beta/ I wonder if it can ever match Firefox' headstart. I mean, firefox just has such a huge lead with plugins/add ons. What would it take for you to ditch FF for Google?

    I can't use it because there's no Home button as far as I can see.

          I have grown so dependent on my Firefox plugins, so that would definitely be the only way for me, too...

            No possible chance of me leaving without plugins, and only if Chrome has the same ones as FireFox.
            Even then I might not leave because I'm such a fanboy. seriously.

              Only if my FF plugins would work on Chrome. If not, than nope.

                  You said it all right there. If Chrome had all the add-ons that FF had. I would ditch it in a second (if it didnt slow Chrome down). I use chrome for browsing / boards and such. I only use Firefox for working. It has better download setup. It also has a ton of great add-ons for webmasters.

                  Chrome is so much fucking faster it is not even funny. Not sure if they had the same addons and such if it would slow down.

                    I switched already... only used the FireBug plugin in FF so unless I'm coding javascript there is no reason for me to use that browser. The FF bugs lately has been pissing me off too much.

                      of course it would slow down, but nobody really knows exactly how much.

                        Nothing could make me switch to chrome. I have too much dependence on Google already.

                          Chrome doesn't even support their own fucking Google Toolbar.

                            Chrome is ridiculously fast as compared to FF. And new version of FF has crashed once a day or so since I upgraded. There IS a home button just enable it. I wish it could use some of the ff plugins as well, but can deal with opening ff if I need to do something requiring one of its plugins. Chrome is setup to eventually allow plugins. Checking to see if I have the newest version since I didn't know they did another upgrade woot!

                              Just upgraded to the beta seamlessly and fast as shit. Chrome is a beautiful browser and I've used them all.

                                Faster than FF? Which functions are faster? Page rendering? Script execution?

                                  All it is is another shitty wrapper to WebKit. I have that natively, it's called Konqueror.

                                    Loads faster from initial startup, loads and renders pages faster. Everything. Install it, and use it for a few days, then try opening FF and surfing you'll notice it right off.

                                        Sounds pretty cool. I'll check it out again.

                                            Chrome is nice for webmail and FF crashes every hour or so for no reason the last week after being stable for at least 1 year in a row.

                                                  1. I really need my plugins/extensions.
                                                  2. I don't trust google.

                                                            It's basically the same damn thing without the obnoxiousness of Qt - but uses Java with propietary calls to Windows instead. I'm not really a fan. It works/acts like everything else WebKit. Safari/Windows isn't far off.

                                                                  You start typing in Eiffel... and it will suggest the wikipedia article or official page of the Eiffel Tower. You start typing youtube (after visiting it once) and it will let you press TAB to switch to youtube search instead of just going there and, it will use the native search of youtube to perform it.

                                                                  This works with any site you've visited in the past that has a search feature.

                                                                  I haven't tried the native webkit but I really do like some of the new features in Google Chrome, I use them all the time.

Also the session manager is real important to me since I generally have several dozen tabs open at once and if something crashes or freezes I need to restore them or there's no way I will be able to remember which pages I was working on and be able to find them again without losing alot of time.
