It's out now. Really looking nice, fast and compatible. I hate the tabs on the side of the address bar but overall it's great.

It's very nice
Not as good as Firefox, but it's getting there.
As OP said, the fact that the tabs are on the side of the address bars kinda sucks
I like the fact that you can pin your favorite websites (windows 7)

What happened?
Have so many security holes been plugged that they had to make a new browser again?

That's because this week there is a security challenge where hackers try to, well, hack those programs for a $10,000 prize.

Firefox is about add-ons and features, not pure speed.
I mean, do you need your browser to be .25 seconds quicker at loading a page?

I meant firefox became sluggish after I used it for 4 years, and I switched to Chrome about a year ago, and for me there is a noticeable difference in start up time and loading pages. Plus I can sync it to my google account and have all my bookmarks anywhere.

Meh. I hardly ever notice any serious slowdown with FF. Yes, Chrome is faster, but FF is still pretty insanely fast compared to what I used to use for a browser. For me, it's the difference between near-instantaneous and somewhat close to instantaneous.

Chrome is just pure speed but it's still GARBAGE. Poor customization, poor handling, poor interface.

I definitely noticed a speed difference when I was using Chrome. The add-ons and the ability to save sessions eventually brought me back to Firefox, though. If Chrome ever picks up the few features I use on Firefox, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Recently switched to FF and I will be hard-pressed to ever switch again. Using 4.0 Beta.

Ad Block Plus is now available for Chrome, that is a huge plus. There are session saver plugins too. I haven't run across anything I used in FF that isn't available for Chrome.

I prefer FF over Chrome because the name and logo are cooler. :tu

Opera is really nice; fast enough for me, nice UI, shortcuts options, etc...
I also like the Bitorrent integration - although I prefer to use a separate torrent client.

Seriously, though. IE sucks, has sucked for a long time and will continue to suck for a long time. FF and Chrome are infinitely better.

I've had the same problem. It became such a hassle, that I actually started using Safari as my backup, which is nowhere near as fast on my dual core desktop than it is on my old ass iBook, which says tons about the Windows version of it. FF became very bogged down and bloated with the extensions and what not, which is the exact opposite of what it was supposed to be in the beginning.
I cleared out most of my extensions, but it didn't help.

I don't really care for Safari, but it's must use at work.
