I'm running it a home a bit.  I was using AdBlocker, NoScript on Firefox.

Chrome seems a bit faster for Facebook, gmail, google reader.

The Chrome ad blocker works differently.  The FF one won't download the
script.  The Chrome one just doesn't display the results.  Sites that link
to a slow ad server are noticably slower.

I recently upgraded from a P4/512MB to a Dual Pentium/4GB laptop at about
the same time and that might affect my perception.

When I click on a PDF, FF would give me a view/download option.  View
launches evince.  Chrome doesn't do anything, but a plugin will launch it
into google docs in a new window.

I do find myself running Chrome most of the time.
