I usually use Chromium, the unbranded Chrome. Firefox with NoScript
and optionally an Adblocker add-on is a great browser, but the
add-on/extension update check that occurs when Firefox loads results
in a three to four times longer load time for me than when I launch
Chromium. Most surfing I do is performed through Chromium, unless
I'm explicitly trying to avoid running certain Flash/Java(script),
in which case I'll load Firefox with NoScript enabled. I'm pretty
sure Firefox will render RSS feeds legible for humans, whereas
Chromium will output the XML of the RSS without formatting it for
easy reading. I seem to think Firefox is more bloated, although it's
add-on/extensions can be a very valuable feature, especially for web
developers (Firebug add-on, etc). I believe Firefox 4.0 was or is
recently going to be released, about which I cannot comment.<br>
