   People really use Chrome more than !Firefox now?! Chrome's not even technologically superior, nor does its GUI integrate well on any OS. !fs

     Plus it can't even show properly Google's own web pages like G+ :D

     @jacobwb Are you saying that Firefox's GUI integrates well on anything other than Gnome (apart from Win and OSX, ofc)?

     @rajitsingh What else is there? It integrates great on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X & Windows. BSD uses GNOME, and KDE can theme GTK+ apps nowadays.

     @rajitsingh Firefox uses GNOME, OSX & Windows theme buttons, scrollbars, icons, window decoration; Chrome's the same ugly across platforms

     @clacke That works alright. It can also be said that one may make Icecat out of editions to Firefox's about:config.

     @csolisr On my system, Firefox without extensions actually starts faster than default Chrome. From launch to surf. It performs better, too.

     @jacobwb It looks terrible by default on KDE. Really terrible.

     @csolisr For me, chrome with extenstions performs better than firefox with extensions. Plus the tab sync and it's almost awesome android

     @rajitsingh But your definition of "terrible" is probably "GTK+", right? KDE can theme GTK+ apps properly now, some distros do it by default

     @jacobwb Faster JavaScript runtime?

     @kr428 Huh, IonMonkey is near enough on par with V8 if not slightly faster. In my experience Chrome's very slow executing many small scripts

     @jacobwb talking #ox6 and #openkm, it seems exactly the opposite here. feels a lot smoother in #chromium... ?

     @rajitsingh To sync, Chromium depends solely upon Google. That makes it a non-option to me, since I try to be #GoogleFree.

     Look, I like Firefox too, but even I know Chrome brought in some nice advancements.

     @zc456 True. Mozilla can learn a lot from Chrome. Nothing about how to render a page or handle RSS, but JavaScript and UI stuff definitely.

     @zc456 By "UI stuff" I mean in terms of layout, not Google's blatant disregard for operating system specific GUI consistency.
