For me, chrome is the best bet. Its light in resources and really fast too.

After weeks and weeks of switching between Firefox 4 and Chrome, unable to decide, I've settled on Chrome.

A major factor was Chrome's bundled, auto updated, Flash and PDF reader, plus the fact that Chrome usually gets Flash updates earlier than Firefox.

I did have a minor niggle with Chrome and Sandboxie, where new bookmark icons stayed blank. When I, finally, found a direct access rule that solved that problem, the decision was quite easy really.

I'm a simple soul though and only have Adblock and WOT added to Chrome, so the massive selection of Firefox addons don't interest me particularly.

I use Chrome. I love its speed and its homepage with the frequently used thumbnails. However, not everything runs on Chrome (typically work intranet stuff I need to access periodically) so I sometimes have to use either Firefox or IE.

One thing that really annoys me about Firefox is how resource hungry it is, regardless of that it is still my number one choice for a web browser

I'm using Opera mobile at the minute. Much faster than my N8's built in browser.

Agree with free. This will probably never be satisfactorily resolved. If you start off with non-performant code it can be very difficult to make things faster without a fairly substantial re-write. And once your product's out there, you don't want to be completely re-writing it as you'll get an inevitable dip in quality. Nothing more frustrating for a user than something that used to work and now the new and improved version doesn't!
