Although I did like I fall probably in the same category as most people and now just use Firefox and IE.

I'm really digging the Google Chrome and plan on making it my only used browser once they get a few bugs worked out. Currently I have a problem with how it uses flash on some sites I use often, and it also has a problem with another website where I visit the forum often.

I've been using opera.Does Chrome have any features that are worth it to switch?
I do need to use IE if I want to download youtube videos.For some reason realplayer only lets me do that in IE.

I also use Opera and Chrome. There are little advantages for the Google browser like:
-Faster!
-Incognito-Mode which doesn't store any data in history etc. (useful for example if you search for a gift for your friend - what I do at the moment! ;))
-Possibility to create an 'application' with a homepage. Example I now have an application Gmail, where I can read my mails. In fact not very different from opening the page in the browser but more elegant.
-IMHO it shows homepages more often correctly than Opera which sometimes has problems (not very often though).

But IMHO it misses some really useful features from Opera yet like Mouse Gestures and a lot other things. This could change when Google releases its add-on-system (like firefox) because then the functionality will surely arise.

So I'd stay with Opera for now.
