Why Google Chrome is Awesome

I have officially converted to Google Chrome.  I have been using Chrome since the day it was released, and there are three main reasons why I am not going back to firefox>:
  1. Chrome is super fast. 
  2. The ability to drag tags between windows, drag a tab to create a new window, and consolidate> windows.  I am a little OCD about all the windows open on my computer so I love the ability to consolidate and split them simply by dragging.
  3. One tap hanging does not crash the whole browser.  The one thing that bothered me most about firefox was the frequency of crashes.  Chrome has gotten around this by making each tab its own process.
Here is Googles post about it:

I've been using Firefox for a few years now, and it's going to be hard to part with because of the add-ons that I use and such. I'm still patiently waiting on a mac version of Chrome until I make a final decision on the browser. :)

Yeah, the add-ons will be missed.

Firefox has the drag-tabs-between-windows feature. I discovered it the other day when I accidentally opened a work tab in the goofing off browser.

Chrome looks cool and all, but, I dunno. I'll wait until there's a stable release that doesn't allow all sorts of exploits. And even then, I really don't know if I'll want to switch from Firefox.

@demented_pants you are totally right just tried it. Still seems like you can't drag a tab out to create a new window or drag windows together.

It may be blazing fast, but it has its security flaws. I suggest you check them up before making it your default browser.
