Man, it sounds so cash!

I bet it would bring me more meat than a toilet seat.

Extensions are coming for Chrome, but for now I stick with FF for most sites I extensively use. Chrome can't get close to FF security wise if you take into account the security add-ons for FF.
Also, I can't use the net these days without Greasemonkey - especially RHP Forums with the gbaway script.

I have Chrome set to start with Windows, because it is lightning fast, and it gives me a quick overview of a few sites and blogs I like to catch up on, but then I load FF and continue down the road of mostly procrastination.
You can't beat FireFox for pure power and customizability.

FF's slow starts are beginning to bother me. I also heard that Chrome seems to do better than FF in safety tests. Is that true?
maybe your OS is what's slow.

Firefox starts in less than 2 seconds: Linux Mint 7 booted from jump drive, on laptop with intel duo processor, 2 cores.

Which is Chrome? That thing that Apple sneaks in when they install Quicktime/iTunes on your PC? Or is it that ghost of a browser from Google? Chrome and Safari are not real browsers and cannot be compared to Firefox.

A browser for me is not just something minimalistic to get on the internet (chrome)and get raped. What extensions does it have to block ads, block flash, allow/disallow scripting from certain sites (security extensions) and run customised scripts e.g. greasemonkey? Those who can, get Firefox.

Internet noobs, get IE and Chrome/Safari.
