Firefox also gets you more hooked with its add-ons. This is getting worse with time.

Little things can make a big difference & FF leads the way in little things. Big things (big add-ons like firebug or colorzilla) are obviously deal-makers, but the little things are big friction points.

For example, the main reason safari irritates me is that they don't have the bottom of the page chrome. I like to see the URL of links before clicking.

The bottom-of-the-page bar in Safari can be toggled with CMD+/

Thanks.

I'll make a small correction. HN is in the lead for small things. I learn so many of these on HN.

Where would I be without CMD-shift-t in FF?

I used to feel the same way, but alas command-/ turns it on and leaves it on for future sessions.

hooray!
