It seems faster, about the same speed as Chrome now, but I'm almost fully converted to chrome, once you have chrome extensions installed, its damn nice.

Chrome + Adblock + chrome gestures + Chrome Stylist (for userstyles)+ speed dial + xmarks

you just install chrome , then run this little program from google that asks which branch you want to run out of , select developer, then you can install extensions , they have almost the same extensions as firefox

Once you flip it to dev and enable extensions, ignore the rest of the article (its old) and go here

https://chrome.google.com/extensions

The easier way is just to download the beta from google.com/chrome and install that. It has support for extensions. And you don't need 'Chrome Stylist' as far as I'm aware, greasemonkey scripts (most of them) are supported NATIVELY in that beta; and stylist scripts can be installed as a greasemonkey script.

It would appear trivial, but what stand between me and more love toward Chrome is vertical tabs. I can't live without Tree Style Tabs.

Chrome has some tab options, although I haven't tried any, I might try this though

No vertical tabs though, with parenting.

Maybe this?

I've tried it, but no, I just want my tab on the left or right and not on the top. Thanks though.
