      I don't use too many extensions. Like 3 maybe. One for gMail, one for gVoice and Chrome SEO

      Spend you some brain.

                  Chrome is awesome. ChromeSEO is pretty handy.

                    I did the same switch months ago. Firefox is a resource hog! If you have a spare 200-300 MB RAM that's fine. But I don't.
                    So the only two options are Safari and Chrome. Safari looks actually very similar to Chrome. Google probably ripped off their UI.

                    To use extensions, I think you still need to use the Beta of Chrome.
                    My current Chrome extensions:
                    - Resolution Test
                    - MeasureIt
                    - EXIF Viewer
                    - Chromed Bird (Twitter)
                    - Eye Dropper
                    - Speed Tracer

                    Unfortunately, for web development I still need to use Firefox. There is no way around Firebug. Chrome has a nice html inspector, but it does not update when dynamic content is added. And you will run into problems with Chrome's AGGRESSIVE caching. It makes development of websites with Chrome impossible.

                          Well, the plugin tries to fix something that Firefox should do by itself.
                          The description also looks sketchy. Says it tries to clean the memory of several other programs as well.... who knows what else this extension does in the background...
