The test I ran says that it is faster, in most cases: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/46230/FFvsChrome.txt

I just got back from XP. Damn, that thing is fast. It was hard to pull myself away, but XP gives me the willies. I'm bummed to be back in FF.

I really prefer Firefox 3's AwesomeBar URL suggestion feature.
in chrome? no chance. the second line is a search result, no ifs, buts, or other discussions about it...

Thanks to Berenger
http://beranger.org/index.php?page=d...hrome-chromium
I have discovered Chromium
http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/s...rome-win32.zip
now this is very interesting, it does not install itself as an app and is launched directly from the chrome.exe so has a tiny footprint. As with Chrome, each tab runs in its own separate process.
This is the version that I shall be using.

good old ctrl+v / ctrl+c excuse!

After using Chrome for a day, I see that (for now) Firefox is a lot better (same speed on most sites). More plugins and support on the Internets. Also, for a product that was NOT released on the Mac yet, the user-agent says my Vista is a Mac. LOL to the max.
What I think chrome is better for is the Ajax-y web apps, like Google reader, Yahoo Mail, Meebo, Google Docs, etc. Not as a main browser. So I have configured a few web app shortcuts, and use that. Thanks Google for a nice portal for web apps!

I love the UI simplifications. It was only confusing for a moment or two before the beauty of the choices really started to sink in. It's really nice to see google aggressively pushing web-as-platform to new heights as well as turning around and giving it all back to the community to play with.
As a first release it's a keeper, I can only imagine what they can do as they integrate the 100/100 acid3 compliant version of webkit and push a Mac ( and linux? ) release out the door.
