I've been switching browsers every six months or so for the last couple of years but recently have stuck with Chrome because it seems more nimble, has a great print dialog (save to PDF as a printer), and the Task Manager (how else could one see which tab was using all the resources).
I really miss the multi-session facility provided by a plugin to Firefox though. Chrome has multiple users but I can't find a way for all users to share the same bookmarks, plugins etc. I really only need multiple sessions to allow multiple logins to services, not for complete user separation. Chrome is a bit more flakey and doesn't have a 64 bit version - I can't believe how long it is taking them to produce this - so Java applets are severely limited within Chrome. Chrome does seem to provide the best experience and compatibility with Google apps (funny that, although it wasn't always the case). Both Firefox and Chrome still bring my machine to its knees regularly but Chrome somewhat less frequently. I think the resource management (sleep/suspend tabs) features of the new Safari are fantastic but until I can find a multi-session plugin I can't go back. Cheers, Ashley.
