With Chrome supporting Greasemonkey scripts, I was able to replace my beloved <a title=\"My Firefox Ubiquity commands\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bhagwad.com\/blog\/tag\/firefox-ubiquity\">Firefox Ubiquity plugins<\/a> including those which allowed me to quickly surround text with HTML tags for easy blog commenting among other tasks.  So here are five reasons why I finally made the switch:<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Chrome, one tab doesn&#8217;t hang the others<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2526\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2526\" style=\"width: 240px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2526\" title=\"Switching to Chrome from Firefox\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bhagwad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Switching-to-Chrome-from-Firefox.jpg\" alt=\"Switching to Chrome from Firefox\" width=\"250\" height=\"151\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2526\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Switching to Chrome from Firefox<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong> <\/strong>Some sites like Slashdot contain lots of Javascript, CSS and Ajax. The same goes for Gmail. The problem with Firefox is that while these complex pages are loading, <em>it freezes every other tab!<\/em> It&#8217;s very irritating to have to wait seconds while a new Slashdot page opens up. You can&#8217;t switch, or type. And since I always open new tabs in the background, I want to be able to continue to do what I want in the meantime.  Google Chrome on the other hand runs each tab in a separate process &#8211; so no matter how badly one tab misbehaves, the others don&#8217;t suffer. I can happily open a new Gmail window in the background and just continue to do what I&#8217;m doing until I&#8217;m ready to turn my attention to it. Chrome is also blazingly fast &#8211; pages are rendered in no time at all and applications just feels snappier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I can reclaim the &#8220;status bar&#8221; space<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong>I can&#8217;t stand stuff getting between me and the web. That includes bookmark bars, navigation bars, search bars, and finally the status bar. Until I tried Chrome, I never realized how I hated the status bar. To be sure, there are plugins or add ons for Firefox that remove the status bar, but in the first place I don&#8217;t like to install too many add ons and second, none of them exactly replicates the status bar behavior in Chrome &#8211; namely by:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Not being present<\/li>\n<li>Showing up when I hover a link &#8211; some do, but they show the <em>entire<\/em> bar instead of just the URL<\/li>\n<li>Showing a shortened version of the link<\/li>\n<li>Expanding the URL if I hover a little longer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I&#8217;m a stickler for space and Chrome&#8217;s solution is so elegant and neat that it&#8217;s a wonder why other browsers haven&#8217;t just copied it outright.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chrome&#8217;s new Web Applications are awesome<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of Chrome 6&#8217;s new features is the ability to make <em>web applications<\/em>. I use some sites like Gmail a lot and would like to keep them open all the time. So by making it a web application, I can have it minimize the space the tab uses, have it open all the while, and <em>also remove the navigation bar, search bar, etc for that app!<\/em> Here&#8217;s what it looks like:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2518\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2518\" style=\"width: 317px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2518 \" title=\"Google Chrome Web App\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bhagwad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Google-Chrome-Web-App.jpg\" alt=\"Google Chrome Web App\" width=\"327\" height=\"165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bhagwad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Google-Chrome-Web-App.jpg 327w, https:\/\/www.bhagwad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Google-Chrome-Web-App-300x151.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Google Chrome Web App<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ain&#8217;t that awesome? I need never close Gmail again. It&#8217;s always on the left, can&#8217;t be moved, doesn&#8217;t interfere with my regular work and allows me to access it at a moment&#8217;s notice. I&#8217;m told that Firefox 4 is coming out with something of the sort in it&#8217;s later Beta versions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chrome&#8217;s Bookmark Sync<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Using a simple Google sign in, I can now synchronize my bookmarks across all Chrome browsers no matter which computer I&#8217;m using. One of the motivations for moving to the cloud by using Google Docs and Gmail is so that I have complete flexibility and don&#8217;t need to be tied down to any single piece of hardware. Chrome&#8217;s bookmark sync also allows me to synchronize my extensions, preferences and themes.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox tried to integrate such a feature earlier and called it &#8220;Weave&#8221;, but they never got the implementation right &#8211; it was buggy, and slow. Google&#8217;s got this one down pat. It&#8217;s completely seamless and doesn&#8217;t necessitate any additional sign ins. Marvelous!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greasemonkey Integration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Greasemonkey is a simple tool that allows users to do cool stuff with their browsers. For example, if you want to comment on a blog and need to italicize some text, you have to wrap it in &#8220;&lt;em&gt;&lt;\/em&gt;&#8221; tags. To make it bold, you have to surround the text with &#8220;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;\/strong&gt;.&#8221; I find this painful. While using Firefox, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhagwad.com\/blog\/2009\/technology\/inserting-html-tags-using-firefox-ubiquity.html\">I wrote a Ubiquity script<\/a> that would save me from this painful typing. But Google Chrome didn&#8217;t have Ubiquity and till now, this was the one thing holding me back from adopting Chrome full time.<\/p>\n<p>But when I found out that Chrome now natively supported Greasemonkey scripts which till now only worked on Firefox, I went and found one that did the same job! True, <a href=\"http:\/\/userscripts.org\/scripts\/show\/81551\">I had to tweak it before it worked<\/a> in Chrome, but now if I want to italicize a comment, I just press &#8220;Ctrl+I&#8221; and if I want to insert a hyperlink, I just press &#8220;Ctrl+Shift+M&#8221; and the &lt;a&gt; tag is fully formed with the cursor in the right place to paste the URL!<\/p>\n<p>This was the feature that finally tipped me over. And so now I&#8217;m officially a Google Chrome user instead of a Firefox user.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing that nudged me over was the fact that Firefox 4&#8217;s latest Beta for Linux didn&#8217;t have the new look which the Windows version got. I was pissed I and felt I wasn&#8217;t being treated on an equal footing. But I&#8217;ve used Firefox for so many years now that I won&#8217;t hold a grudge. I&#8217;m willing to be lured back to Firefox if they improve their speed to a level comparable to Chrome&#8217;s. But for now, I bid Firefox good bye and with tears in my eyes, save this post in my shiny new Google Chrome browser&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explains my reasons for
