That is to say, I've made it my default browser, selected it to open at login, rather than Firefox, and would switch over altogether except that I miss an ad blocker on certain sites such as Facebook, and video doesn't seem to work on certain sites, including CBS News - 60 Minutes, or Move software on ESPN360. But if those things came along tomorrow, I'd be all in.... Well, I still have Safari and Firefox on the computer, but I'd rarely if ever use them if Chrome were fully up to snuff.

There are over 300 extensions available now and more being released. Once they mature, it may be time to switch. It may not be too long before I try the switch again.

I use Firefox bookmarks for custom searches, shortcuts and bookmarklets. Without Xmarks it would be a real pain to keep them all in sync. Good question.

I used mouse gestures all the time in Opera and loved them. When I switched to Firefox I forgot all about them. I'm a keyboard man now and I've never even tried the mouse gesture extensions in Firefox. That’s interesting. I used mouse gestures all the time in Opera and loved them.
