Was Tiger Woods or Paris Hilton on that train? Then why should I care?

Back on-topic, I recently installed a Firefox theme that makes it look much nicer, pretty close to what FF 4.0 is supposed to look like.

Eh those themes with the glass destabilize firefox and make the freezing issues a lot worse. Firefox tends to take 20-30 seconds to startup on my 3 machines under xp/vista/win7/OS X, and 10-20 to restart

You were the one bitching about how ugly my GUI looked rather than the awesome fact that it's a NASA control centre of awesomewinness.

Still too much real estate taken up by the menu bar.

Horatio may be a sunglasses freak, but I've never seen him put on two pairs at once. I'm calling bullshit, that's shopped.

What menu bar? Did you even look at the pic? I literally haven't got one.

I've been using FF for a while now, not minding that it looks Windows 98ish. But with 7 it's just an eyesore. Even Steam at least looks... intentionally ugly.

20-30 seconds. O Rly.

Okay, you know the Windows 7 "half busy" cursor, that still gives you the cursor but it has the spinny blue thing next to it? I just did a test. I closed Firefox, waited 5 seconds, then clicked the icon to start it back up.

My blue swishy thing rotated 6 times and then I was greeted by... notice that in that time, it had actually also just updated to the latest beta. True story, restart FF right now and you'll get it if you're using 3.6 beta. My SSD probably helps a lot with that, but I think 20-30 seconds is way longer than anything I've ever seen.

Ordinarily I wouldn't take your comments so seriously but... here we are in the ultimate browser showdown of destiny. No, ultimate destiny in fact.

Sure did. Check out my (stock) Chrome bar.

P.S. Let's pretend you haven't spend 136.4 hours customizing your browser to your liking. You just bought your first computer, and now you have to choose a browser. Can someone give me a reason why you wouldn't choose Chrome?

Chrome:
Is faster*
Has better built-in search functions
Has extensions (including everyone's favorite, AdBlock)*
Passes Acid 3 test with 100%
No annoying hangs/memory leaks
Less screen real estate used
Faster development time (versions 1.0 beta to 4 in ~year)
Open source*
Better extension development

*Marks what FF already has

So really, what does FF have that Chrome doesn't? Tell me please.

Someone mentioned earlier that they didn't trust Google to protect their privacy. Please read this article

For anyone who didn't follow this story, well Google lost and had to turn over the information. But they fought tooth and nail to prevent that from happening. It would have been easy to cave in to the government, but they did everything possible to protect that anonymous person's email and privacy.
