I hope not. Currently nothing beats Firefox with Pentadactyl, Adblock Plus, Firebug, Tabmix plus combination. For real VIM geeks this is an insanely fast way to navigate the web and do online research.

Same here. I'm using all of those extensions, plus a number that help increase web privacy/security, such as BetterPrivacy, Ghostery, HTTPS-Everywhere, LastPass, and OptimizeGoogle. There's no way to replicate that level of customization in Chrome. In fact, it's much worse because of all the tracking functionality Google's included.

    Everything you type into the address bar is sent to Google's servers as a search query.

      Only if you turn that on (and by default it is not). See http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=180655&hl=en http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=18...

      That's not a "tracking feature". That's a feature of the Omnibar that can be disabled, and it's a feature I choose to use because the utility of it outweighs the privacy concern for me. Next?

      Everything you type into Firefox's search bar is also sent to Google's servers as a search query.

Agreed, and add Treeview tabs to that list. That extension alone is keeping me from moving to Chrome

Agreed I cant switch to Chrome because there is no exact Tab Mix Plus extension for it. It's a more stable browser but I need Tab Mix Plus!

Hey... thanks for mentioning Pentadactyl... nice addition to the bag of Firefox tricks.
