Fortunately, Google has just outlined a way for coders to create such plug-ins. If programmers start pumping out add-ons, Chrome could be unbeatable.

I began using Firefox as my main browser. It was faster and more stable and offered more innovations than did its rivals.

Over time, though, many of its advantages have slipped away.

The beta version fixes a few problems that had become nearly intolerable in Firefox — like its propensity to consume your computer's memory and to become unbearably slow as you keep it open throughout the day. I found the beta much faster and more stable than previous versions.

But the main reason I stick with Firefox is its large library of add-ons. My favorite plug-in is Tab Mix Plus, which gives me powerful tools to save the many open tabs I collect during a hard day at the Web.

As these rivals duke it out for market share, they'll keep adding better features to each new version. Whichever wins, we'll get all the benefits.

Hi merrie - sure you are more specialist than I, but I say the same: some functions of firefox are needed for me. And I can with the same opened tabs (let's say: 12), not see, that the Google is faster than the FF! The only one, that is really much faster than the others, is the Safari. But I use it only for some games, where others are faster than I without this!
Because I have not my add-ons in Safari.
No Clipmarks!

Chrome is great b/c it's so fast, yet it hasn't developed add-ons. FF is all I've used for the past four years. (only
on rare occasions I use Flock if FF gets "funky")
I plan to try out Tab Mix Plus.
