ugh, i was so ready to go to chrome. it's almost ready as a browser. was gonna switch from FF, but it just doesn't make the cut. No tagging and no suggesting(or completing) of URLs from bookmarked and previously visited pages. Also doesn't do a good job with auto-completing forms and saved passwords

I don't like Chrome either. It's got big name just because Google built it.

Chrome is perfect man , I love the way you can highlight thinks and click search or even highlight links and click go , the complete feature is perfect IMO .

Well, chrome is faster than FF.
And many people have left FF and moved to Chrome. Even I use Chrome more than Firefox.
And yes its as good as chrome. Thinking of few people is not gonna change it.

I used to use Firefox, but now I use Chrome. Firefox is just too slow these days.

Chrome has autocomplete, and is way faster than FF. I also prefer its developer tools to firebug.

Yeah... the developer tools that are built into Chrome is a lot better than Firebug. And the new versions of Chrome also have the equivalent of the Live HTTP Headers Firefox plug-in. In fact, there's only one plug-in I have installed in Chrome now. All the other plug-ins I had for Firefox are just built into Chrome.

Did I mention Firefox is really, really, really slow compared to Chrome? Oh yeah, I did... Firefox 4 is better, but still not nearly as fast.

Same, I use Chrome for most web browsing when I'm not doing anything special. When I'm doing more specialized tasks, such as those that need macros, etc. FF is the better choice. What's awesome about FF is the huge amounts of add-ons available.

One thing I just noticed that kind of sucks is you can't view HTTP headers by clicking links like you can using plugins like you can using HTTPFox, or at least I don't see a way to do it. I'm trying to solve a problem that requires looking at headers / cookies and am finding that Chrome is coming up short.
