Just hope they don't screw it up and change crap around ala Facebook. Leave it the way it is just improve the reliability of the product is all.
That is exactly what they are doing. And they should. I moved to Chrome because Firefox is just too slow and becomes even slower and quite unreliable once you start opening a lot of windows. And it still has issues with memory leaks and hording. This is because Firefox still uses a single process for everything, rather than each window/tab spawning a separate process like Chrome and Internet Explorer. Version 4 is supposedly where they'll the club. Coming from a fanboy who's been using Firefox since it was called Firebird, Chrome has been great.
Chrome is fast but its too damn basic to me. Now match Firefox's features with Google Chrome's speed, then you got something there.
I notice you avoid any privacy comparisons...Google's shameless collecting, personally identifying, and then marketing of users histories along with there past support and commercialization of governmental censorship, even leading to the persecution, imprisonment and death of individuals engaging in activities we take for granted, tends to make me discount the brief lead in technology they may offer. So far as I can determine, they've not yet been able to pierce the security of my Atari800's, Hayes dial-up modem nor trace my electronic footsteps. I'm too slow for them to keep up with.
Firefox is already pretty damn quick once it's loaded up. Startup time is one of Firefox's only real flaws, IMO. I'm a little annoyed that when they said speed would improve in 3.6, they seemed to refer to just page rendering, not boot or quit times. IMO most people wouldn't say Chrome is faster if not for its quick boot time.
Chrome has been my default browser for months now. The speed and their support for extensions now made it easy for me. I'll check out Firefox 4 whenever it comes out.
