Switching to Chrome

After years of using Firefox as my go to browser, I have made the permanent transition to Chrome. Reasons?

  1. More stable - less crashes and hangs
  2. faster startup
  3. Seemless, frequent updates

Setting up bookmark (and extension) syncing was a big issue for me. With a Google OpenID account as the signin mechanism, it is even easier to use than Firefox sync was. Another big must was good developer tools. After I got the hang of the builtin developer tools, I prefer them to Firebug.

A couple of extensions that I like are PlainClothes which can disable CSS style on a page.Another one is Kindle clippings.

The only Firefox extension that I used and still do miss is FoxyTunes which I have yet to find an adequate replacement for Chrome. Suggestions?
