- rpy said: DNS pre-caching - cool idea. Users get a faster web experience, DNS infrastructure is already distributed enough that it can take the hit. Expect to see this in the next generation of all other browsers.

How-To: Enable All Chrome's Best Features in Firefox (242)
onThe internet is atwitter with Google Chrome's innovative new features, but there was no clear winner in our speed test comparing Firefox and Chrome—which means your choice of browser may depend solely on features. Apart from a few specific issues (namely process management), many of Chrome's best features are already available in Firefox 3, proving yet again the power of extensibility.

Chrome Probably Doesn't Hijack Your Data [Google] (10)

Over the last six months or so, I’ve become extremely frustrated with Internet browsers. Slow, clunky, and prone to memory leaks, they become increasingly unreliable the more you use them, and that’s not right. Increasing problems with Firefox 3 led me to adopt the faster Safari on my Windows machine– ridiculous-sounding, I know, but istill the best option. Of course, working with a primarily Mac-based browser within Windows leads to a variety of other issues, ...Contribute comment - Google Chrome First Look [Screenshot Tour] (58)
