I really like the way that Chrome allows you to drag a tab out into its own window, and then lets you drag it back again. I’m also fond of the “close tabs to the right” and “close tabs opened by this tab” options.

And, yes, it seems to be faster, too.

But it lacks some key (for me) functions in Firefox:<br /><br />- Master Password (I have a goldfish's memory, but I can at least memorize ONE password to protect my saved ones).<br /><br />- Foxmarks (THE best plugin ever. Yes, I know, there's google bookmarks, but I'd have to switch everything)<br /><br />- Chrome lost all my live bookmarks RSS feeds when importing from Firefox :-(<br /><br />It does look promising though, and I'm sure after a few more iterations, I'll end up switching (along with switching to google bookmarks, gmail, etc.) It is indeed darn fast.
