Safari >>>> I like browsing my history in Coverflow mode, makes finding a site I visited previously so much easier.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things...

Yep, forgot some:

Enable plug-ins on demand
RSS feed reader (wow, you need an extension for Chrome?)
Status Bar is much more usable
Quick Preferences
Per-Site Preferences
Ctrl+B and Ctrl+I works as Ichinisan mentioned above, but Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y works also (undo/redo)
Tab Stacking
Finally has extensions similar to Firefox and Chrome
Built-in content blocker

:D

*runs into the corner, paddles self with both shame and pleasure.

btw, how does one get those damn ticky tick marks? (over the "a")

I can never type those out. is it just alt-something? does one have to set a macro?

I never use them b/c it involves too much BS. :\

I don't know, I just copy and pasted.

But I am sure there is a firefox add-on for it (because firefox is so great). ;)

I'm loving FF4. Though screw the minimalism, I like my tool bars and easily accessible menus and bookmarks. I brought those all back.

The speed is great as well as most of my extensions are still compatible.

As of about a month ago I'm not a Chrome convert from years and years of using FF.

I used FF right up till the latest FF 4.0 betas, right up till it released. I still like FF but Chrome has sadly won me over. It just feels speedier all round, especially its JavaScript engine. Most of the extensions I used in FF are also happily available on Chrome too!!

This thread needs pollage. Get with it OP!

My vote's for Chrome. I usually have 20+ tabs open at any given time, and FF just doesn't handle that well.

holdout?

opera existed long before FF and ive used it that long, there isn't a better browser out there. Nearly everything FF has was copied from Opera

Um, isn't that the definition of a holdout, to keep using something even if it's basically dead or not used anymore by mostly everyone?

I like both. They both show you webpages...

Chrome sync is nice. I heard that FF can do the same thing but I haven't looked into it.

Chromium is my default browser, Opera remain as my financial/trading browser, and FF is a backup browser that I never use.
