Firefox also seems slightly faster for me than Chrome (and Safari feels _a lot_ faster), but that's not enough to switch, since I'm so used to Chrome's sane UX and sync (and with a passphrase I'm pretty comfortable having that on Google's servers).

You are correct with your experiences, Firefox and Safari are now quite quick compared to Chrome, sometimes 3x as fast.

If you are on a Macbook using battery power I highly suggest using Safari due to it's power consumption profile, your battery will last way longer.
