The main thing linking me to firefox is zotero, which is the best bibliographic/citation software I have ever used, but is fundamentally a firefox plugin...

I saw the speed comparison on LH (also saw this) and it made me realise that I need to make the change - 6 seconds for a cold start is shocking!
I think the reason why I've stuck with ff till now is the dev community (same reason I insisted on winamp till recently). So many addons, skins, scripts etc. makes it the browser you want it to be.
Guess I'll move to Opera.

Javascriptspeed comparison
Javascript speed and load times are the main benefit of chrome to me.
Firefox still has the best extensions, though now chrome and opera have a firebug type module built in natively for web development (not quite as featured, but lightweight)

i'm still on firefox mainly because of adblock - I didn't know chrome had one, I was going to try out chrome when it first came out but gave up when I realised there was no adblock feature/extension.
What are the other benefits of chrome/chromium? I quite like a lot of the other firefox plugins- Tab Mix, studio boost for fb, Browse-by-gestures (not that it works in firefox 3.6 yet!)

What browsers are you guys using now?
If it is firefox, what is keeping you there?
I'm still on firefox at home as I like greasemonkey on facebook and noscript.
At work I've been using chrome since they launched extensions like adblock. I had chromium (open source chrome without googles beady eyes) instead for a while but it crashed a lot.
I'm thinking of trying opera 10.5 as it looks good, and opera on my phone has always been good to me.

How on this earth did Phil beat me to this?!
dddd - 17/5/2010 09:01 - 131.111.185.38
reason is, yesterday after watching the cricket final, for some reason I wondered whether Tom had made a Fantasy Cricket tournament for it, and when I went to look, I found the new WC one.

I will be - need some time to think about my team choice - which is probably a silly idea as I usually get it horrendously wrong

especially with the current exchange rate
pd - 17/5/2010 20:58 - 86.26.1.209
lol. Yeah i maybs picked too early. Dodged a bullet in not picking Germany before hearing about Ballack e.g.
ddddd - 17/5/2010 21:10 - 81.102.143.137
@rich surely you used the wrong name?
ddddd - 17/5/2010 21:11 - 81.102.143.137
don't really rate the Germans anyway, with or without Ballack (watch me be proved utterly wrong now I've said that). Germany defo not worth the money. One of Brazil or Spain, and then Italy or France (yeah I know they're tournament record has been pretty on/off recently, but still worth backing) or maybe England actually.

@dd were you expecting robert marley?
cr42yr1ch - 18/5/2010 09:04 - 129.67.118.77
I started picking a team and then realised that noscript blocked the javascript calculator, when I enabled it it gave me -2 teams and extra money, it let me pick 6 teams total, so no idea what will happen to that one, maybe only the top 4 exciting teams get chosen.
Surely SA is best value at $1, home teams always play a bit better!
