I’m mainly using Chrome and Safari. I also have Firefox, but do feel like it’s been lacking recently and is quite sluggish compared to Chrome. Safari has improved slightly, yet it still has difficulty loading certain pages without having a fit and randomly reloading all the few tabs that happen to be open. Having said that, Chrome could still use some work, but it’s definitely better than it was in past versions for mac.

I have Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari installed on Lion. I mostly alternate between Opera and Chrome. I rarely use Firefox and Safari. I will use Firefox, but I don’t find it as great as the other browsers, in terms of speed and UI.

I use an Apple Mac with the Lion OS and use both Chrome and Firefox and feel they’re both excellent with each having their own personalities. The only dislike I have with Chrome is it hesitates when, for example, using Bookmarks. The spinning wheel goes off making you wait to proceed while Firefox is right on when you click on something. Other than that little aggravation, I feel they’re both excellent.

I may have missed this earlier, but is there a way to get chrome to respond to trackpad/magic mouse gestures? Namely the one that allows a two finger swipe through web history? That is the last thing that is keeping me in safari.

In my haste I said that Aurora was beta Firefox, in fact it’s more like an alpha version, my apologies. Firefox beta, is also a good browser, but I’d have to agree there are area in which Chrome beats it, like speed, especially start up. I’ve recently installed an SSD in my 08 mbpro and the difference in start up speed is still noticeable (just). There do still seem to be reasons to firefox, like it’s huge amount of plug-ins compared to chrome.

These changes are fantastic. However, it’s still going to take a little while to get used to this new user interface.
