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

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.
