I'm divided between Firefox and Google Chrome right now... These days I'm using Chrome much more than Firefox, it's so much faster!

IMO Firefox has been getting worse in terms of speed from version to version.

Try FF 3.6 Alpha 1: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

Warning: Although fast and stable, it is still in Alpha stage w/ these being nightlies.

I remember trying the FF3 pre-release builds and being blown away by how fast it was. The official public release came, and it actually turned out to be much slower and more memory-hungry than FF2 (I doubt my FF data / history is that huge). I'll probably end up trying 3.6 anyway to mess about with the nifty CSS3 features - which will no doubt take Microsoft a few years to implement into IE, making them a bit niche for now.

HTML 5.0 and Gecko 1.9.2 are featured in this as well.  93/100 on the Acid3 test.

@halogamer1989: Maybe I'll try it out later, although Alpha software can be a bit scary to run.

On a related note, I just now took advantage of one of the great features in Chrome. One of the tabs got screwed up by Acrobat with a pdf file. I just opened windows task manager, closed the chrome.exe process which was using the whole CPU and voila, the rest of the tabs survived just fine. With Firefox I would have to restart the whole thing.

Yeah that is an advantage.
