I've used Firefox since forever (well, since I switched from Opera in 1999 or so). However, recently I've been using Google Chrome, ironically because I got a Mac... I liked Safari a lot once I got the hang of it but Chrome still uses WebKit, was cross-platform, included sync and is more open. Win?
The only thing I've found it lacking compared to Firefox is accelerated HTML5. This means the MBP heats up and the fans kick in when I'm watching HTML5 video, whereas on Safari it doesn't because that does have acceleration.
Is this purely because Apple haven't opened up the means for Google to include it? I'd imagine not seeing as Firefox is capable. Will Chrome ever add this feature? I love how sleek and fast it is, and although I can still use Safari I'd prefer not to purely due to sync.
I'll be quite honest I'm a bit of a browser whore lately. I love Chrome for its pure speed with JS and loading pages; Firefox for... well being Firefox... and Opera for all its features and it's nice UI. Chrome wins out atm though, so I need accelerated HTML5 damnit!
I've enabled GPU acceleration in about:flags, but that only seems to apply to rendering actual pages.
TIA.
