Switched back to Firefox from Chrome. I've been using it for the past 2 days and there isn't a discernible difference in speed. I got tired of some of Chrome's minor bugs which emerge in AJAX driven websites which haven't been test-driven on that particular browser, so I thought I would see if version 3.5.2 had closed the speed-gap. Seems like it has. At least with only a few extensions.

Lifehacker has a comparison of Chrome 4.0, Firefox 3.5, and Opera 10.
Firefox boots slowest, Opera fastest. Opera takes longest to load eight tabs, Chrome the least time. Chrome totally cooks on the JafaScript Test, while Opera and Fierefox are left way behind.
Chrome Passes Firefox, Google May Pull Out Support: I stopped using Firefox around the 20th time it made me do something I shouldn't have had to do because it sucked as a browser. Firefox used to be my hero, now I regard it as somewhat dangerous, and I only use Google Chrome.
A 64-bit version of the Google Chrome browser is now ready, but Windows users will still have some time to wait for their version.
A new version of FireFox is coming out today. You can already test drive the latest pre-release already.
Opera is better!
Is your computer very new? On my 6 year old computer, the difference is huge. There really is no contest between Chrome and Firefox in the benchmarks... Upgrading to Chrome was like buying a new computer for me! I suppose on a new computer the difference is unnoticeable.
Chrome is a god send on a netbook, it's speedy and the menus are compact.
