…was once my choice but for some reason it started running very slow for me. I'd especially find YouTube videos very jumpy. So one day I tried out Chrome and absolutely loved it. It's light weight, fast and trim.
After I sourced a few extensions I use often (namely Delicious and EyeDropper ) I fully switched over my default browser.
Chrome also renders with the WebKit engine so you get all the nice CSS3 and HTML5 goodies (that also come with Safari). …

Let's look at another practical example -- YouTube's automatic speech recognition feature . I clicked through to the first UC Berkeley video with this feature, clicked the CC (closed caption) icon, and immediately got .. this.
"Light exerts force on matter". But according to Google's automatic speech recognition, it's "like the search for some matter". Unsurprisingly, it does not get better from there. You'd be way more …
