I’ve been using Google Chrome (the dev build) for quite a while now, and I must say that I don’t miss Firefox at all.  With the announcement of an extension library today and the speed at which Chrome launches (and the ability to stop one particular tab – or even flash app – that’s causing the browser to crash), it has won my heart as far as web browsers go.

I’m sure I could find all the functionality I’ve grown to love in Chrome in Firefox if I tried.  Firefox has so many extensions, it’d be hard to imagine something it couldn’t do.  But I’ve gotten used to Chrome and now it’ll take a bit of extra energy to push me off my orbit and into trying another browser again.
