(I often end up using Chrome or Epiphany when I run across sites with buggy cookie handling code. Using Chrome provides a clean slate without clearing my FF cookies.) Chrome is nice, but I prefer the FF UI. I'd probably learn to live with Chrome, if the performance difference was really noticeable (I don't find that it is), and they interoperated with FF's bookmark manager (you can drag-and-drop bookmarks from FF to Chrome, but not Chrome to FF; I have 10+ years of organized bookmarks that I don't want to import into Chrome (I'm not ready to commit to it) or export to Xmarks.) Chrome is steadily increasing its stable of extensions, but what's available is still tiny compared to FF. As others have mentioned, I've come to rely on extension for critical bits of functionality. It helps a bit that Chrome can run Greasemonkey scripts natively. At the moment, Flash seems to work better on Chrome, so I tend to use it when I run across some Flash video. But this can change with every browser or OS update. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source." Professional Profile: http://tmetro.venturelogic.com/
