Firefox or Chrome in Linux?

we don't visit pr0n in incognito tab!11!!1!:shadedshu
 

Its just not as good, yet, perhaps. This is the quickest example I could think of, on IGN's site. You will notice a black square on google chrome where it tried to block it, firefoz is clean.

I'm using opera. =]
 
It auto-fill in the most recent/visit address. For me I typed in "tech" and it brought me the techpowerup homepage (for your case I believe it brought you to your bookmarked page?).

When ever I open a new tab, it will display 16 pages (4x4 grid) that I visit most with big thumbnail pictures. I don't really need to type at all.

I visit a lot more than 16 pages, and I like knowing where my stuff is. I don't like things changing. Yes, I know I can pin them, but why go through the extra work.

May I also add that using a mouse is a waste of time when there are keyboard shortcuts, so I'd rather type in 4 letters and hit enter.

Yes, you are right... but chrome extension is newest then ff extension, so it can works way better than today ... It only needs some improvements, and imho it's only a matter of time.
 
I've tried various builds of Chrome in both Windows and linux, and while Chrome certainly does feel more 'snappier' and the extension support is improving all the time - I just can't feel the love for Chrome.

I don't feel the love for FF anymore either really, so Opera is my main Windows browser but it just feels to buggy in Linux, so for linux - FF it is.
 
I cant tell a difference in speed. maybe if you timed by the milisecond, but at that point does it even matter?
