Talking web browsers

I've been a great fan of Firefox for several years - I love the bookmarks bar that enables me to have 50 favicons ready for quick access. I love the Google toolbar that makes online research very quick. Unfortunately Firefox seems to be getting slower.

I like Safari too, although I don't like the way it doesn't show favicons and it doesn't let me do much customisation. It does sync with Xmarks, so I keep the bookmarks up to date but without favicons it's a bit like operating blind. Safari is fast.

I'm growing increasingly keen on Google's Chrome. It's fast and it shows favicons, which makes things quicker. However it spaces the favicons too much, so it only shows half of the 50 or so I have on the bookmarks bar in Firefox. 

In short, to get the functionality I need, I have to use three different browsers, depending on the task

In Safari, you could edit the titles of bookmarks in the bookmarks bar so that they are one- or two-letter meaningful shortcuts. That way you could still fit a large number of them in.

So, have "G" for Google, "GR" for Google Reader, "+b" for whatever you use to post to your blog, and so on.
