Likening Version 5 to the 50 year old mistress that suddenly gains a lot of weight, I decided to dump it and go back to my trusty housewife, Firefox.
However, I liked how pretty and useful my little mistress was so I asked my wife to put on some makeup and shiny earrings.
This is how she looks now:

All nonsense aside, Chrome 5 was horrible for me so I've switched back to Firefox. I prefer Chrome's look and some of its functionality though, so I went a little plugin-crazy on Firefox and totally transformed it.
The second toolbar below my bookmarks toolbar is a new web developer utility that a friend recommended. I haven't had time to play around with it much yet but some of the features look pretty cool.

Spelling awkwardness. Anyway, I have both, and often switch in between them. I think I'm going to start using Firefox more due to some cool changes on OI that will allow simple C/Ping from profiles that works for Firefox users.

For a while I gave Chrome an honest chance at being my default web browser, but Chrome simply does not like streaming videos, and privacy options were limited so I found it difficult to fully customize it to my liking. Plus the fact that Firefox still has loads more add-on versatility... I had no choice but to leave Chrome behind.
