    I wish Chrome would do this. I think it's great to have these statistics available.

    Those are theoretical values and the question is how they have been measured :)

    Add-ons do of course have impact on performance... but to be honest I have enough performance issues with FireFox 4.0 by itself that addons can't really make it any worse :-/

    Wish Opera had add-ons... I would never look back at Firefox. Opera runs so much smoother and faster.

    I assume they're all either done with cold booting the app and timing fully loading the home page.

    As you say I'm not looking back at FF until it solves quite a few of the issues it has. Chrome provides faster browsing, extensions, and security.

    Nice... but Picasa and Google Search is all I ever want to use from Google.

    No gmail, no chrome, no earth - nothing.

    Sticking to Opera 11 as a secondary browser and I might force myself to get used to it as a primary... tired of waiting for Mozilla to fix it. Was hoping 4.0 to be what it has to be. But nope.

    Ah, I see. You're not interested in using any other google products. Why's that? Gmail is a very popular service.
