I was about to report a bug that I noticed in Chrome today.
Then I switched to Canary, and realized that it was fixed.

Builds: 13.0.772.0 dev 13.0.775.0 canary
It's a great day for browsers.

#24Totally lost my passion for firefox. It's so clunky and slow now, and Chrome is just so fast & sexy. I used to use it solely because of FireBug, but now Chrome's Developer Tools are just as good, and in my opinion, better than FBug.

#25I've installed and used Chrome but am staying with FF because I know it, it works, and it does everything The occasional crash is no problem as FF restores with no problem, and using Windows I am used to crashes :d

#26I've used Firefox since it was Phoenix/Firebird. It saved me from IE. You can pry it from my cold, dead hands.
