I was also reluctant to start with Chrome due to

Good points! My husband has been using Chrome on his laptop, but I've been resisting, too. I love the add-ons. But when I'm working with GIMP, I can't use it and FF together without the whole computer becoming EXTREMELY slow. I will have to give this idea a try. :)

Oh, yes, GIMP is a total resource hog! I definitely recommend Chrome as the "quickie" browser to run along side it :)

Let me know what you think after you've given it a go :)

That's actually why I rarely use Firefox - it's sooooo S-L-O-W - especially when you have graphic applications open. Safari may not have the cool add ons but it's quick and easy. (Though I think the Windows version sucks having tried it on my mom's PC.)

I'm anxious to give Chrome a shot. I wish they'd hurry up with the Mac version.

I hope they release a Mac version soon. I've been dying to try it.
