Back to Firefox

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.

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.
