I think that Chrome still has an edge in performance when you consider the UI globally. In Firefox when creating a new window keypresses and mouse clicks are ignored until some point in the new page initialization. Before that they events are swallowed In contrast in Chrome the keypresses are taken into account immediately, even if the window takes a bit longer to initialize as a user I don't have to wait, I can type my query, let Chrome do it's thing and eventually I'll get my result. In Firefox I have to wait until the adress box is ready before I can type something. Even if the whole process is faster it means it still takes more of my attention time.
