Well Chrome supposedly is the fastest browser in the world, although Opera might say otherwise.

Fox performance is good , its the safe way to browse,,,

Chrome for certain sites FF is not good at....

OK i love firefox but is anyone else's browser F@@#@$ up once in a while?
I do not really have many addons but i feel either the browser quality is going down or the addons mess it up.
I get hitches and not responding messages , definitely different from my first time using the browser.
Just did a fresh install and the problem is still there once in a while.

I made the full switch from FF to Chrome at the beginning of 2010. I haven't looked back since. Even on my Core i5 750 with 4 GB of RAM, it seems like Chrome performs smoother and have less performance quirks than FF. Even my laptop have Chrome installed. Given the amount of time and resources Google is pouring into Chrome, I can only imagine that it'll get even better over time.

The performance 'quirks' is why I never used FF full time.

Just curious, I have never used adblocker so much, what value does it add over flashblock? I am guessing some adds are not flash based? That, or maybe you guys feel it is tedious to click to activate innocuous flash apps that you actually wanted to load? I am asking cuz I have never really used ad-block before chrome. Tried it on chrome, didn't see the point of it. Went right back to flashblock.

Most advertisements are not flash and most flash is garbage. You should use both plugins.

I remember a few threads on the world of warcraft forum about weird advertisements on the right side. First 5 posts were like "wtf, this site has ads??"
They were all images blocked by adblock.

hmm.. I may not visit sites with ads that often. Either that or they don't bother me enough to be noticed.
