Just did... first impressions? Wow... it's like having a new laptop.
Page renders are super fast, jquery is running very sweetly, it hasn't
crashed yet.

I now have FF3 and Chrome running side by side with GMail and another
site open in tabs. A quick check in taskman and: FF3: 112300K (and
climbing), Chrome 17,240K, so that's a big difference.

UI is unobtrusive and very minimal so in my book that's a good thing.
There's a lot of options, tools and preferences but very nicely tucked
away.

Tear off tabs are at last here.

Firebug lite clone seems handy enough - it's got all the important
bits which I'm sure will improve.

Let's see what the plugin architecture and support is like...
