For me, as web developer it is Firebug, WebDeveloper and few smaller ones. As 'normal' web user - AdBlock ;) especially for sites in .pl domains where ads are very intrusive (comparing to what I see on sites in .com). For Chrome USP for me is it's speed - JavaScript speed - using it with some more complicated app like custom apps on Google Maps on slower computer let You feel the difference ;) But. I think that there is huge opportunity for Mozilla folks - if they will adopt Chrome's JS engine they can fight with Chrome... Poor folks in IE team ;))) Yes, addons are USP.

I only switch to Firefox for specific reasons or if I need to use plug-ins for something. And I'm what you could call a power web user. It's the speed and the lack of hick-ups that do it for me, and I can't wait what Google has in store for the future. I started using Chrome and still use it for 90% of the time.

But if that difference disappears, Chrome is the browser to use? Personally I have this anti-Google sentiment, meaning I don't want to use the products of just one company. I like to stay with Mozilla, just for the diversity. So I guess it’s fair to say add-on possibilities is an important Firefox USP? But if that difference disappears, Chrome is the browser to use?

Oh well, they probably got that fixed as soon as they launch the Mac version. that sucks, I watch at least five videos a day, don’t wanna switch browsers for that.

Google says they plan to add that capability in, and once they do, I think it will gain a lot more traction. When it comes down to just the browser itself, Chrome gives a great experience I think. Nice and fast, and I love that each tab is its own process. I love FF but definitely look forward to the next major version of Chrome.
