I've switched to Chrome primarily because my MB Pro is a little short of memory (should upgrade soon), and Chrome seems to use a lot less real memory (as reported by activity manager) than Safari does. Safari seems to get upto 300 Mbytes pretty quickly, while Chrome stays around 60 Mbytes. My personal experience is that that seems to keep the system from bogging down periodically. Once I upgrade the memory, we'll see.
One potential problem for Chrome, at least for the type of users we see here, is any potential issue with adblockers. Wasn't there some news items about Google possibly being less than thrilled with such extensions (understandably)? I know quite a few people for whom a good adblocking solution is essential, and they stick with Firefox exclusively.
