I'm a Chrome-guy now. I never thought I would let Firefox go. It has always worked wonders for me, especially since I'm all into addons and personalization. What changed my mind then?

Well, most of all: the speed. Chrome is fast! As in awesomely, turbo, "the Flash"-fast. It starts within a second after clicking the shortcut in my taskbar, and it opens every page at a speed I've never seen in Firefox.

It did take a while to change, though. The Firefox shortcut sat for months in my taskbar, mostly because of habit (and the affection you get for a loyal app over the years, I guess), but also because Chrome didn't support addons at first. I couldn't use adblock, flashblock, X-marks, videodownloadhelper etc., so I naturally had to keep a copy of FF on my computer.

Nevertheless, this all changed when Chrome released a version in which extensions had been added! I did a little dance that day. As quick as I could I installed AdThwart and Flashblock along with some other tools such as RSS Subscription Extension and Google Dictionary. I finally had my good old "Firefox" back, just a lot faster. And till this day, that's all I need. Perhaps Google really is taking over the world after all.
