Just checked out Iron, as suggested by layingback and can say it's fast!
Not sure if I'll keep it, but if the latest version of Firefox gets any slower...

I was on FireFox v3.6 checked for updates and Lo, I'm scooting along on v6.something now. Seems fine and it looks ever so much like Chrome.
Lurking is shirking.!

Well the most rational reason for using Chrome is that it is fast. Iron is Chrome recompiled without all the call-home stuff, so it has to be faster - if not significantly, it must reduce the unexpected occasional contention delays due to traffic. Why not use Chromium instead?
Of course if you are more comfortable knowing that dear ol' uncle Goog is watching over your every move - go ahead and Chrome

Chromium is an open-source browser where Chrome and also Iron is based on.
So i'm curious what Iron offers over Chromium.

Internet explorer is hideous but at least it tends to be trouble free!
