Wow very informative tread, I didn't know that Chrome was getting so popular.
I just tried it a couple of weeks ago and I like it, but it seems to lack a lot of customization and control over the performance compared to FF.
Maybe that's the point, making it easier and simple, but I'd rather have full control over my application than having a simplified experience, after all I stick with windows 7 and I never thought of switching to a Mac OS........
I might use Chrome once they develop an effective adblock plugin, I just hate some advertising and I'd like to be able to block anything I don't like to see.
There are also several others pluging that I use in FF and I'm not too sure they have their equivalent in Chrome, but yeah I recognize there is a good potential in there...........
