Three things are holding me back to fully switching over:
- Awesome bar - its awesome
- Web Inspector <<<<< Firebug
- '/' to start searching (unless its there and i just dont know about it)
edit: formatting
Also, Chrome's "restore open tabs after a crash" feature is flaky. I use a lot of Chrome's "create application shortcut" feature, and it seems that if the first Chrome process I open after a crash is an application shortcut, it irrevocably forgets about the other tabs I had open.
But, FF keywords and awesome bar are so much better than what Chrome does. Totally miss '/', and ctrl-u to view source. An extension to bring those back would make me 37% happier!
Next version of FF claims big speed improvements. And since they've delivered on speed and memory improvements in the past I'm hopeful. I'll probably be switching back to FF only when that's out.
I've found that the built in inspector is sufficient for me on Chrome, and I love the resource monitoring.
'/' to searching is a big one for me but have adjusted back to CTRL-F I understand that there are 'vim' bindings now for chrome in some extension but haven't bothered installing it.
I find this to be the perfect browser experience. It enables a lot of the VIM key bindings without altering the browser's regular settings. Meaning, I can still use the mouse just fine.
/ works for find. j,k for moving up down.
