And one other thing, sure it is nice to have a browser that has a add-on for pretty much everything, but if I have to sacrifice performance for added function then the browser isn't doing its job properly. I believe chrome runs its add-on's in a seperate process to reduce performance impact it has on the main executable. Lol now that you mention it, I used opera mobile on android breifly but I found it's interface way to clunky and slow although it was rather fast.

Chromium is the fastest, by a small margin though. Firefox gets slower the more addons you make it run. I'm currently running firefox 3.6 with 11 addons, and with 20 tabs open, it doesn't go above 250mb of ram, which is acceptable for me since ff 3.5 running with 4 addons and 20 tabs sometimes peaked at 500mb. Also, some addons weigh much more than others, I have statistics, geolocating, screencaps, network tweaks and a few other things that don't weigh much. I just hope they make ff 4 as a win7 compared to vista/ff3.6 and previous. Being honest, I recommend chromium to the uninformed computer user, as it is very simple and to the point, and has the benefit of being the slightly faster rendering engine. But for just about anyone who knows and wants his browser to do a bit more, firefox is the way to go, mainly due to mozilla having the largest addons library in the world. Although firefox doesn't have a tab manager, it does have a plugin container, handling plugins on a separate thread so if any plugin crashes, said plugin just stops working and not crashing the browser, refreshing the page makes it work again. For me, chrome is very similar to safari, both being the simplest browsers, but quite fast. The curious thing is that opera isn't exactly far behind, and has the best computer-mobile device interoperability, though the new mobile firefox version might stir things up on that area.
