Yeah, so I started using Chrome today. Very nice looking browser, that's for sure. Ironically, it doesn't work with my Google job interface at all. I wish Firefox was this quick to open/close. Something that looks like Chrome, with my favorite extensions from Firefox, which is as well integrated as Safari, would be ideal. Back when there were just 2 browsers, it was somehow acceptable that all of them sucked. But now that there is real competition in the browser market, there's no excuse for not having a perfect experience.
Then again, it's my own fault, I guess, for not having the time to kludge together my own browser. ::)

Will be interesting to see how Firefox 3.6 compares to Chrome. Its supposed to be faster then the current 3.5

I hope they sort it, Firefox has similar memory usage to Internet Explorer and over twice as much memory as Opera according to my non-scientific test.
I loaded Firefox, MS IE and Opera, each with stop-microsoft.org and maximised all the windows, Opera seems to cut its memory usage to 7MB when minimised which won't be fair..
Firefox has Adblock and Clippings extensions installed. I'd expect the memory usage to be a bit less without them but I still consider the test to be fair, as far as I'm concerned they're required to give Firefox the functionality I miss from Opera.
EDIT:
I've just tested Chrome, it uses 24,584K; not as light as Opera but not as bloated as Firefox or IE.

STOP TALKING ABOUT MEMORY NUMBERS. FIREFOX MODIFIES ITS SETTINGS THAT CONTROL MEMORY USAGE AND PERFORMANCE ACCORDING TO THE POWER OF THE SYSTEM.
