I don't like either one of them, even IE7. Chrome is the best, fast and reliable browser I ever used than Firefox, Opera and IE.
I think indeed that chrome is simple and light but also a little "poor" as features, respect to firefox ie,even if I have a great admiration of Google, that I consider the best of the best, very often beyond my comprehension.
Just my opinion.bye
I like ff, but some versions have a small problem with memory management (on XP); when I open e.g. 10 pages in ff (javascript+Images turned on), the memory usage is over 150 MB - when I open the same pages in Opera (with the same settings), the mem usage is under 40 MB.
