Aw shit, I thought, I don't want to rewrite that post!

I made a screen capture of the 2/3rds of it that was still on my screen, and ended Chrome. Windows 7 did a nice job of noticing that the application was hung, and helpfully gave me a dialog box to end the program.

I decided that, with a pending Windows Update due, I should just reboot the entire system. When it came back I restarted Chrome. Chrome noticed that it had crashed, and asked whether I wanted all the tabs back. Nothing new there, Firefox will do that for you.

OK, I thought, might as well. But when the Cellar tab reappeared, my whole post was there with it. How awesome! How unexpectedly delightful! Great work, Google: if they want the tabs restored, chances are 99.9% they want the form data restored too.

I have switched to using Chrome as my primary browser.
I love chrome but I still feel like I have to use firefox... Theirs some addons on firefox that I can't live without now . I also don't think I can "save tabs" when I close chrome which was one of the things I love the most out of firefox. Besides that, I find chrome is a better browser, almost never crashes and you barely lose anything when it does.
