Firefox 4 Beta sure looks like Chrome
I tried Beta 12 last night. It looks exactly like Chrome. I am not saying that is a bad thing. Just sayin'. It is supposed to be a bunch faster than 3.6.

I have tried Chrome but there are a few addins for Firefox that I hate to give up. I also had a weird experience using Xmarks bookmark and password sync with Chrome where it seemed to hose all the passwords stored on the server. I may switch to the built in password sync when I go to FF 4.0 on all my PC's.

1. I find Chrome a lot less intuitive to use, especially for bookmarking.
I don't use it often because of that.

I hope Firefox didn't copy that part.

2. It seems to work like earlier versions
You click on "Bookmarks" then "Bookmark this page" or you can hit ctl-D. They moved the Bookmarks over to the right on links bar like Chrome.

3. I know they did, but I've never had it work well in Chrome no matter
where it sits on the task bar. Firefox is much easier, just click on "bookmark" and figure out where to file it.
