(this is all about chrome, i love chrome) You can reopen tabs by right clicking on the tabs area and moving the mouse down to "Reopen Closed Tab". also, XMarks works well with chrome 4.0.249.89 (beta channel) and there is currently a few mouse gesture extensions out there on https://chrome.google.com/extensions/just go to https://chrome.google.com/extensions/search?q=gestures for automatic search. my favorite is https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/aeaoofnhgocdbnbeljkmbjdmhbcokfdb . I think one of the coolest things that chrome does that Firefox doesn't is you can drag tabs out of the window to make their own window. then drag them back, never have to worry about multiple windows. in addition, you can drag n' drop bookmarks from the bookmarks bar, highlighted text, and links, in between tabs, on top of tabs, or in an empty space near or next to a tab to open a new tab (or replace the tab you dropped it on) like as if you put the highlighted text or link into the URL bar of that new(replacing) tab , or open the bookmark that you dropped to create a new tab or replace the tab you dropped the tab on. oh, not to mention the word processor like spell checker that undoubtedly improved this comment or whatever you like to call it. PS: i like how you can resize text fields ;)

Its only a matter of time before Chrome picks up the bloat too.

I'm using the beta version with many great extensions and have found no problem as you stated.
Chrome's user interface is also a great advantage to Firefox's.
So now I think Chrome is the best.

i am ubuntu user my self, and i found out that there is chrome for linux not that wine versions or even the crossover version, so i am using 4.0.290.0 (35507)chrome for ubuntu and i can say its faster than firefox. the flash works better on chrome and faster with chrome even the streaming is faster. but there is one thing i dislike in chrome, yeah you can change the theme but i want to be able to put the same windows decoration on chrome too and emerald doesnt seem to take effect on chrome too, and i really like to be everything in order in my pc :D i will continue to use chrome. cheers

Google Chrome has support for themes and extensions now! They are only available in the beta channel, but the beta channel is very stable. Google Chrome is also available for Linux and OS X now, although it is only for OS 10.5 Intel and higher. Firefox works on PowerPC.

I tried Google Chrome and went back to Firefox almost immediately. I use mouse gestures and they are missing in Chrome. I am a million times more productive with a web browser that has mouse gestures then one without so that is a MAJOR deal breaker. Honestly, I don't think Chrome will ever come close to the plugin support Firefox has. It also doesn't support Roboform which I am very dependent on. You have to use Chromium to get that support. Too many things missing in Google Chrome. Firefox is so much more flexible and I'll admit Chrome felt a tiny bit faster just not fast enough to drop the feature rich Firefox. Opera is the only alternative to Firefox that I'll consider right now unless Chrome catches up, but it has A LOT of catching up to do. Until then I'll never part with my precious extensions that make my life so much easier.

FWIW I moved to the beta build of Chrome 4 and the startup time seems to me noticeably slower. Given that for me, as for you, this is one of Chrome's big advantages, this is disappointing. Perhaps slower and slower startup is an inevitable trend of software as it gets older.
