Awesome! Extensions being enabled by default in the dev channel is great news. I've been semi-following the documentation for it all and it's been improving at a nice steady pace (just like the browser :-)) Also, as mentioned from others it runs just fine on Linux for several months now so go ahead and try it! You'll realize quickly how you don't need all those Firefox extensions.
It is time for next-gen "no flash" browser games and "no java" web-apps.
And still no full release version for Mac / Linux. I find this particularly interesting considering the Google "Operating System" is going to be a custom interface on top of a Linux kernel.
I've been using the Linux version for several month now and honestly cannot tell the difference between it and the windows version. Just as stable, just as fast, and flash works without any problems. I'm guessing there is a good reason why they're not comfortable releasing it yet, but as an end user I haven't run across that reason.

Not all of them. But if you think I'm surfing without AdBlock then you have another think coming...
It's discontinued, but it works.

Not long ago, FF seemed like a real edge. Now I just use it cuz I'm used to it and it has extensions that I am used to. Safari is also good and even the new IE is good. I wouldn't mind using either of them or using chrome. The pace of improvement seems to be strong and even.
I have no beef with an extra competitor, but I am surprised to say I have a browser and its good.
I realize there is probably no place for it in marketing banter, but it bothers me that they don't give the WebKit project any visible credit.

That would steal focus away from Google's promotion of their secret magic sauce that they sprinkle on everything to make it better.
