I've been using chrome for over a year now.

its a great browser if you like fast response times and minimalism.

I honestly don't see the difference between Chrome and Firefox.... neither in load times or efficiency

Chrome loads pages marginally faster than firefox, but the extensions and addons keep me using ff.

I myself use to be a huge fan of FF and still am but since the release of Chrome I haven't used anything else. I think my biggest enjoyment of Chrome is like Schwarrzwald mentioned it simple. There is not a whole lot to it except giving you something quick and easy to work with on the net.

with my version of chrome I get 100/100 on acid3

I also get 137/160 on html5 test

Chrome has extensions as well. Not as many as Firefox, but really, how many do you fucking need?

Also I think Chrome's UI is superior to any other browser out there, reducing user time spent actually navigating the UI.

Very nice! There was another browser I used which reminded me a lot of Chrome but for the life of me I can't recall it's name... I will have to look into my program files and still see if I have the install program.

Same. One feature I love is if a tab or process thread stalls or eats up too much resources you can kill it without killing the whole browser.

I mod the config files of firefox to make it go faster, but for firefox to load somethings that others come with you have to download an addon. I mostly use firefox cuz I know my way around in it and I trust it. Chrome seems like it might be just alittle faster but really I'm content with firefox's speed.

Same here. Chrome's probably a bit faster as you said, and it has a cleaner layout imo.
