The article is extra silly, because it's not the graphical sheen of Chrome that makes Chrome so good, it's what under the hood. And to make that point I've uploaded a screenshot and explained what extensions I would proscribe. Ironic. Firefox takes the best parts of Safari&Chrome

Thats actually spot on there. I use Chrome at work exclusively, mainly because of why I originally started using FF, it's MILES faster than either FF or IE. It's unbelievably quick to be honest and you're right the tabs are exactly that usable. I thought that would have been a problem in the beginning but it was actually a massive boon. The thing that I'm struggling with is how this is going to be employed onto the mac. By default you've got the top menu bar always. But I honestly can't wait for it to arrive onto the mac.

Corners are excellent. In fact, sometimes they’re too good. My girlfriends mac has 3 of four corners assigned to, consecutively, expose, dashboard and show desktop. All smart features and great when you need them. Really annoying when you’re watching a fullscreen YouTube video and need to move the mouse out of the way; whoop — there’s the dashboard :)
