> What got me hooked on chrome was the unified address bar that just worked, and tabs on top (and the close button stays in the right place when you close half a dozen tabs), basically it just took up less space, firefox feels like IE with way too much clutter and a prompt to ask you if you really meant to do whatever, yes I really want my browser to close, update etc.
Exactly the same here, but then I got sick of various changes to chrome that went against how I felt a browser should work, and google wouldn't honor a config setting for. (Oddly, removal of http:// http:// prefix isn't one of these things, I supported that...)
So I went back to firefox, albeit FF4 as MineField, and added in Omnibar and gTranslate extensions to get the functionality of chrome that I depended on (the combined nav bar and the ability to auto-translate web pages).
Haven't regretted it since, although I do keep a chrome install around as my backup browser - every few weeks minefield will have some earth-shattering bug that causes it to be unusable for a few hours or so..
