The feature I love is the automatic opening of tabs when clicking on favorites or URL’s entered into the address bar (once you get used to it, you can’t go back).Ībove and to the left are the extensions I use in Firefox 3.5.5, and below to the right those I have installed in Chrome 4 Beta. I can’t find an extension in Chrome that replaces Tab Mix Plus. I haven’t found a similar cleanup add-on for Firefox.Ĭhrome is so much faster, both to load initially and render web pages. I also found a Facebook extension called Facebook Cleanup, which allows one to get more space for posts, it changes the page from the default 3 column layout to two column, much neater and more readable!! Oh and Facebook ads are history. I found a great Twitter client called Metrist, clean easy interface with a count for unread tweets, re-tweet ad replies all in a small package. Chrome has some great extensions that are NOT available for Firefox, all the latest extension writing talent appears to have migrated to Chrome. I checked out the extension capability and lo and behold there are a ton available!! In fact I have found equivalent extensions to my Firefox extensions, minus one I like a lot (Tab Mix Plus). Despite the raw speed, the lack of the extra functions I’ve grown accustomed to were missing.Enter Chrome 4.0 Beta with extensions. Google Chrome browser is so much faster, but extensions are not available with Chrome 3 or earlier.

As great as it is, Firefox is no longer the fastest browser available, it is almost as slow as Internet Explorer IMHO.

Mix tabs plus
