    I think Google Chrome is fine. I switched from FF and don't regret it. Is FF4 supposed to be faster?

    I'll wait till it's officially released. I have a lot of addons running with the current version of Firefox that will not work with this beta version. it does look a lot like chrome and i am already using that
     
  10. there are news that FF4 has an optimized memory management, which means it doesn't pile up garbage in your ram as it remains idle like FF3. A better Javascript engine apparently. That's why FF4 seems faster.

    Add-ons from FF3 will obviously not work until the add-on maker creates compatibility for FF4, due to it being a fairly different browser altogether. it's like iphone and android apps needing to be updated after an iphone or android update.
