Nice video, thanks!

So FireFox is the best in all 4 topics.
Since, Chrome is still in beta, I think it can get there.

I really dislike IE.

I prefer Firefox because of the add-ons.

I used to use Firefox, now I use Chrome and have done since its release... it's very good, I like the theme and how the tabs work, etc.

I tried to switch to chrome, used it for 2 weeks or so, I really tried to like it, but I just didn't when compared to FF3.

Firefox because Chrome lacks an Adblocker and a real addon dev base.

I use chrome portable for slow computers, and it's really fast loadup helps. For anything else I use Firefox.

Firefox.

Although I would use Google Chrome if 1 bug was fixed;

Everytime I try to upload something I get an UNKNOWN_ERR::8258 or something or if I try pasting something extremely long.

Firefox. Chrome is nice and i really like the idea of running tabs as separate processes, but in practicality it offers no real benefits over other browsers. There new super speed JS virtual machine is slower than firefox's new just compiler as one example (not out till 3.1). In resource terms, chrome equally eats more memory as well as not having the great set of extensions and themes available to firefox "/

So in my opinion, ff wins out.

I prefer Opera ;) But out of those two I'd say firefox for pure usability, chrome for convenience and speed :)

CS-Dude: Just so you know, the Javascript engine Chrome uses is V8, and a lot of hype I believe was around it.

As for my opinion on whether you should use Firefox or Chrome, personally from what I read of the release Chrome was designed to target the Internet Explorer group of people and not so much Firefox. But in the end it all comes down to your needs, I want flexibility, security, and speed. Firefox delivers flexibility with add-ons, security to a degree much greater than Internet Explorer, although it does have memory leaks. As for speed I didn't really pay attention, they seemed the same too me, although Google Chrome V8 Javascript engine runs crap with jQuery and selectors compared to Firefox.

Firefox, Chrome is spyware I tell you, SPYWARE. It spies on your wares so watch out.

I had a few issues with Chrome in beta so went back to Firefox, when bugs are sorted I'll probably download it again.
I love the incognito mode and the way you can pull tabbed browsers into a new window.

Firefox is better imo.

Although Chrome looks better and runs faster.

Firefox. I like it because - if I want to make firefox look like IE - Install Glasser, Install Vista-Aero theme, done.

Safari? Install iFox Metal theme, done. Hide menubar, Adblock Plus, Even google chrome addon that makes firefox look 99% like chrome.

It's just so customisable, I love it :D I have an optimiser for it that makes it's memory usage much lower, too.

Yea. V8 is the name of the virtual machine chrome are using. I couldn't think of the name at the time of writing :) Firefox's new JIT compiler still wins out in benchmarking over it though.
