1 Reason I Was Forced to Overcome My Chrome Addiction: It keeps freezing, requiring a power-off restart, with more than about twenty-five tabs. Sad to say, both FF and IE8 are much more stable with lots of tabs.
I do think FF still has an edge in the stability department however.

With that said, I'm missing two features that I've become accustomed in Firefox:
1. ctrl-1, ctrl-2, etc for switching tabs.
2. Forward-slash for searching
"1. Ludicrous Speed for fast fingers." Same can be done in firefox using ctrl-c, ctrl-k, ctrl-v, alt-enter
"2. Each Tab is its own Process" That might actually be a good thing to implement in firefox. Although what he mentions has never happened to me. In my experience firefox rarely crashes.
"3. No bothersome updates on every other launch" What he said. It can be turned off. Altough I haven't cause i find it to be a good thing. Yet another thing which runs itself. Though "sometimes you just want to check gmail and check it fast" (notice how the author says "check gmail" and not "check your email" or some other just-want-to-do-it-fast task) and if firefox starts talking about updates I just click skip/cancel and go on with it. Still fairly fast. Most certainly this is not a point that rates high in my change-browser?-checklist.
"4. The stay-out-of-your-way look" My firefox is themed to be uber minimalistic. URL-bar, searchbar and a bookmarkbar consisting only of icons.
"5. Downloading…" I just like the way all downloads are accessible through one dedicated window/area.
1. Ludicrous Speed for fast fingers. Using the following key strokes makes me a search GOD..! Is Ctrl C, Ctrl T, Ctrl V, Enter really quicker than right-click->"Search the web for [selected word]"?
No modifiers, no nonsense.
I love Vimperator.
1. Double-click/highlight any word or phrase on a website
2. ^C
3. ^K
4. ^V
5. Alt-Enter (for results in a new tab)Number 1 reason I don't use chrome: It (google) tries to impose it's will and existence on me. Through paid articles like the linked one. "1.
