I agree with this article. Fox has lost its edge.

Firefox not only leads its competitors in the number and variety of third-party add-ons, but also makes adding or removing add-ons much easier than other competitors. To sum it up, Chrome and Safari is still far behind Firefox when it comes add-ons.

Will the average person really notice the differences that you notice? Is the speed difference in seconds or milliseconds? I didn't think your review was clear on this point. On my computers I have abandoned Google Chrome because it is so buggy. It often hangs on my machine, not loading pages and forcing me to refresh to get the page to load. I am not the only person I know who has this problem. Firefox does not have the bugs that Chrome has. Even Google Gears works better in FF than Chrome. So your point about extensibility is well taken. Walt:
