Firefox Sucks

i think this is why chrome is ultimately going to swallow up the browser market. give it 3 or 4 years and it will have all of the features people demand of it while still maintaining that simplicity people love about it. right now it's just too spartan for my taste.

i now have a browser that skips and lags as i scroll up and down the page in gmail. wtf is happening to firefox? don't the people at mozilla know google is out to eat their lunch with the snappy chrome browser?
it seems like firefox is becoming the new internet explorer. unfortunately, chrome is lacking in too many ESSENTIAL features to make the switch, or i would. what are those features, you ask? print preview and default page zoom percentage/level. yes, yes, i know you can do a ctrl/+ in order to zoom in on a page, but chrome is too dumb to remember that page's zoom level the way firefox does. if you're using chrome on a high resolution monitor, you're just as well to take a shank to your eye sockets since the text will be small enough to render you suicidal. and google calls chrome's current iteration version 4? what? puh-lease. it's still a 0.x product if you ask me.

Man, I totally agree with you. The new version is like being handed an uncooked slab of rotten meat with a healthy compliment of flies. They give a totally new meaning to "beta-release". It made me (-shiver-) actually dust off the ever clunky IE for another frustrating go-around.

Ummm, I am very impressed with the newest version of Chrome. Anyone else have any thoughts?

it's good, but the extensions i've installed seem poorly developed and not ready for primetime. i'm sure that in just a year or two, i'll be using chrome. it's just not where i'd like it to be quite yet.
