As a developer, when I’m writing/debugging websites, I still love Firefox for it’s rich plugins like Firebug and the Web Developer toolbar, but when I’m browsing the web I’m head over heals in love with Chrome.  Google is set to push the limits of the web with their latest browser and will be a driving
