Strike 1 for Chrome: No decent Ad blocking. Strike 2 for Chrome: No pop-up blocking.

For me Chrome is no where close to being a replacement for FF. My FF is heavily customized & full of addons. They make FF slow to start, but they are lifesavers.

Hmm, I see Chrome blocking some ads for me some times. Is it limited ? Another Chrome irritation for me is it crashes too much.

Reasons why Facebook social network search will not replace traditional web search: 1. People don't want to share pr0n searches/preferences widely 2. People don't want to widely share their ignorance and attempts at self education Googling 3. Repetition is unavoidable in a walled garden.

In (3) do you mean that information inevitably gets repeated inside the walled garden?

@Ashwin: Exactly! It is like an echo chamber in there.

Joel Spolsky: A Visit to Microsoft and Google - http://www.inc.com/magazin...
"When you are a guest on Google's campus, for example, you get free Wi-Fi service. You simply connect to one of the open hot spots that blanket the area, and you're ready to go. Microsoft has free Wi-Fi, too, but to use it, you have to register with a receptionist who enters your name, your affiliation, your e-mail address, and the name of the person you're visiting into some kind of computer system, which then spits out a page with a temporary password. The receptionist has to walk to the nearest copy room to pick up this page."
