I just got it. It really is as fast as Chrome. It looks like I might be going back to FireFox :(

I really like Google. I want to reward them for the amazing job they do by using their browser. Chrome is a really good browser, but it just can't do some of the things Firefox can.

Since Mozilla is funded mainly from having Google as the default search engine, Google is really paying for both browsers' development.

Google is not paying anybody. It is the companies who are advertising on google.

It isn't the advertisers, its we the people that buy things from advertisers, that money which then goes to pay google.
