Chrome is just rebadged mozila/firefox browser that runs each tab as another process - big deal.

Huh? It's a completely different browser (rendering engine, JavaScript engine, etc.)

Yeah right, concede defeat. Apparently NoScript is the holy grail holding Firefox in a high stature.

What happened to this...?

OMG - the thread is about the fastest browser, not who has the best plugin support !!!!

It is relevant, Opera sacrificed plug-in support for speed and "stability" (their browser would be unstable if it allowed plug-ins apparently).

Lol, yep . But I did derail 5/6 of Gnome's objections against Opera

I concede on Last Pass and Flash blocker and I haven't used the Opera "ad-block" equivalent so no comment or opinion on that.

However that FLV down-loader is available for Firefox also, it's a POS, doesn't work for most web-sites. Same for Firebug-lite it doesn't have all the features of standard Firebug, I've used it.

Naturally those plug-ins I mentioned are only the plug-ins I CANNOT live without, there are others that I like having.

I have been using opera now for about a year I think. Love it to bits. Its a miracle worker in saving bandwidth with its turbo function. Can easily save me 20 - 30megs when I browse in the evening. Its fantastic.

But i dont use the add on things you guys are talking about...not even sure what that is lol

Since 1996? Seems Chrome has done it differently even though they initially didn't have support for extensions.
