To be sure, Chrome would help. Don't have Chrome yet on my Mac. Also, Chrome does not run my ESSENTIAL Firefox plugins: Delicious Bookmarks (I've had my bookmarks, custom browser toolbars by project, and research bibs on the Cloud for more than a year now) and feedly. And I don't know about you, but if you regularly monitor more than 200 feeds, once you try feedly, you don't want to go back, ever.
Which means I'm stuck with Firefox, and with designers who think testing their Ajax apps running alone without multiple apps, windows and tabs is sufficient... Use Chrome on my PC at work, no problem, when I want speed. When I actually want to get work done, however, I need my bookmarks, my custom toolbars by project/task, my research bibs, and my feeds.
