Yeah, I would be happy for Chrome if it did (and at the same time, sad for Firefox). It's a good browser.
It puts me, and I imagine others, in a horrible position though. I can't imagine working without Firebug. I'm desperately hoping that the makers of Firebug update Chromebug so that it is actually useful. I'll also lose a number of other addons/extensions, that I regularly use with Firefox, in the transition. Google Chrome seems to lack the extensibility potential that Firefox has. As I understand it, Chrome places very strict restrictions on what addons can and cannot do.
