FireFox has a better layout for me, the WebDeveloper plugin for web development or when I'll need to clear cache/auth often, and several plugins to download flash and other video formats that I haven't found for Chrome. I watch almost all flash downloaded because the flash plugin always gets screwed up on my machine, in part because it's a locked-down POS, and in part because Flash, PulseAudio, and MythTV don't play well together. Chrome has much better separation of memory and threads, so I use Chrome when I'm going to be opening and closing a lot of pages, like when I'm doing research, or when I'm working with slow pages that I can load while working in other tabs. However, I am diametrically opposed to the whole UI of Chrome, as I've discussed on this list before, and could NEVER use it as my sole browser.
