Google Chrome is clean and fast. But I love Firefox. IE is going to offer users a chance to set IE to “private”, which will block Google’s Adwords advertising then Google Chrome born.

In web development we're mostly limited by what we can support, instead of what we can design. Additionally, WebKit has been far ahead of Firefox in terms of rendering performance and standards implementation, although obviously the market share doesn't reflect this. As far as I can see, only a handful of minor features have been turned off vs. the mainstream build, and they're mostly non-standard experimental additions (and marked as such by WebKit). Basically, I think anything to give web standards a kick start is a positive, and Google might just have the 'clout' that Mozilla & Co. haven't quite been able to summon. I've actually seen Google Toolbar (for example) installed on many average joe PCs that Firefox is not. Currently the web is being held back so much that I think a 'split in internets' may actually be a blessing in disguise. Or Yet Another Browser To Support Time will tell :) I still think in terms of technology it’s a culmination of a number of great ideas like better JavaScript execution, memory management, etc. which are a huge hinderance to making web apps work right.
