<3 Chrome, it's so rapid, and perfect on the netbook with limited desktop space

Yeah, as a browser where speed or resolution priorities nothing comes close.

I thought Firefox 3.5/3.7 was faster?

It's nowhere near, else I'd use FF exclusively as speed is my only concern with browsers.

I thought tests had shown that Gecko was basically faster than Webkit, although I can't remember where I read it and how old it is.

Nah recent FF beta/alphas or whatever with tracemonkley and whatever else turned on are the fastest around but were now talking about ms as opposed to seconds worth of speed over IE. Its barely noticeable now days

I have the latest release of FF, and trace monkey only speeds up Javascript, making it no faster for general browsing compared to chrome for me.

I dunno i'm just going by everything i've read, i don't even use Fx I use Opera and Chrome, so I couldn't really care less either way! I'm more than happy with Opera as a fully featured browser to compete easily with Fx, and Chrome as a stripped out browser to easily compete with IE

If I could get FF to be faster than chrome for general browsing I'd love to switch!
