I just like to keep it simple. Internet Explorer 8 works fine for me. I don't need two programs that do the exact same thing.

I've been using FireFox for YEARS and have never experienced issues or bouts of "unusable" quirks. I hardly use all the bajillion add-ons that are available, but they have a happy end-user in me. It's tweaked how I like it.

If anybody has some benchmark testing of FireFox and Chrome, I'd be interested in seeing a hard data comparison between the two.

If you really want to know which will work best for you, benchmark test all browsers at a place like peacekeeper and see which works best for you.

theres an extension where it automatically makes the thumbnails full size when you "mouse" over them. So if your lookin at somebody profile or whatever, you dont have to scroll through them one at a time. which is Really nice.

Im not sure what other extensions are good or used. I know they have one that can block certain sites at certain times, if I was a great student, I would use that one ha.

I guess I'm going to start using chrome again. Here's my benchmark results.

Chrome is going to out perform all the others in the benchmark tests. I have yet to see it beat by any operating system on any benchmark performed. This test only shows speed, and we are talking negligible amounts of speed between the big 4 really.
