I still use Firefox for my web development because I like Firebug much better than Web Inspector, but that's about it.

I use Chrome for everything else, and love it even more now that it supports extensions. My favorite thing about Chrome is the fusion of the search/address bar - you can just fire up a new tab and enter your search, rather than open tab, tab over to search, enter search.

It was a smart move adding that to chrome; I am completely unable to function in another browser now because of it.

Especially the auto-complete - type 2 letters and hit enter... :)

Agreed. With Firefox's auto-complete you still have to click on the list of links for it to navigate to that page, and if you enter a search term into the address bar it seems like it either does a regular Google (or default provider) search or a "I'm feeling lucky" search. The reduced number of clicks/keypresses in Chrome really make a difference for me.

Same here. I use Firefox for development with Firebug at work, but I use Chrome at home.
