Yes, Chrome has add-ons, and in fact my 2 favorites are FlashBlock and AdBlockPlus. Many of the Firefox Extensions have been written for Chrome.

I'm using Chrome probably 75% of the time on my macbook pro, but it's still a little flakey. Have to break out FF or Safari for certain sites.

Based on this guys testing, all are pretty close in terms of performance.

Yeah that's why I decided to stick with FF. Chrome would flake out on certain sites for me too, while FF is pretty steady across the board.

Can't go wrong with either Chrome or Firefox, but once I switched to Chrome, I really haven't had any reason to go back. Now I just use FF for cross-browser testing.

Chromium-based browsers are so ghey. They can't properly remember the history in my tabs. I have a full load of pages in it, and the next time I start it up, it'll reduce itself to 7 or so entries.

I'm now back to Opera. Much more reliable retention of "back-button" entries.

I like firefox. Particularly the feature that lets me type in something like "ESPN NFL" and it brings me directly to the NFL page at espn.com.

Still Chrome loads around 5 or 6 seconds faster The hub is minimal letting me see more. And it does a good job of giving me quick access to my favorites while still giving me plenty of room to see the page.
