I only know one thing for sure around this discussion:
FF runs netflix without hitching on my 2008 macbook. Chrome drops frames about once a second and I get an un-watchable movie.
This very well could be because of Silverlight, but I don't know enough of about the underlying connections between Silverlight and the browser to judge this. As an end-user the experience is still the same.
I do, however, still use chrome for everything else. The unified search/url bar hooked me and I can't go back.
