I generally prefer Firefox as a browser, but find Chromium a lot faster.
Having said that, I think Firefox is more secure and gives me greater control over Web-content and filtering. The add-ons particularly Web Of Trust give it the edge. I do sometimes use Chromium to get to a trusted website quicker though if the weather is affecting my Internet connection, but Firefox for preference.
All that I am or seem is but a dream within a dream.

Chromium has a Web Of Trust extension also.

I have ran Chromium alongside Firefox on and off since Chromium first came out and C is fast, there is no doubt about that but, it always, always has a web page somewhere that is has problems with. Firefox today has no such problem. It simply works. I personally think it feels a little bloated now and should be streamlined a bit to help speed it up but, that's just me.
I used to run Opera all the time but, it too started to have the odd web page it would not like and that is no use for me because both at home and at work I use the browser a lot and if a browser has an annoying thing like some pages it will not load or will not load properly then that is like having an itch you can't scratch. :)

If I read this right, Firefox 7 is planed for release to a distro near you in 4 months.

6 brings REAL time GPU acceleration to the table finally.

7 is said to fine tune this a tad more and offer flash / HTML 5 support.

"The powers of financial capitalism had [a] far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences."
