Switching to Chrome

I have been using Firefox since its first release back in 2004. It is an amazing browser. It's fast, it's secure, it has tons of add-ons and most of all it's open source. However, for some time now, I have been considering switching to Google Chrome. This browser has been shown to perform better then Firfox in numerous speed and compliance tests.

One of such tests is called ACID3, and it checks for browsers compliance with HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc. It's hard to believe that there are only 3 browsers for windows that pass this test, and it's beyond me how the newest, not even released yet, Internet Explorer 9 scored 55/100 while iPhone scored 100/100.

Compliance and Speed aside, I think that the most important feature of a browser is it's security. Fortunately there is a test for that as well, and it's called Pwn2Own. Actually it is a competition where experts try to compromise each browser. This year only Chrome remained un-hacked the first day. Of course it doesn't mean that it's 100% secure, it means that it is harder to brake then the rest. With that in mind I would strongly recommended that you consider switching as well.
