Google Chrome Top Browser?

According to this article, Google Chrome is the fastest browser:

It’s a highly debatable topic, one that tends to be subjective and fraught with inconsistencies. For example, latency on the Internet can dramatically affect browser speed. One day, Google Chrome can load IGN.com faster than butter on a banana, the next day (say, when a new Gears of War 2 review posts), latency can slow the site to a crawl, and Chrome seems like a dud. That’s why, when you see speed tests for browser that claim “Chrome loads faster” it’s important to ask a few questions: loaded when, over what broadband speed, with what other apps running, on what machine?

Like they say, this all depends on what machine your running, how many programs are running at the same time, what plug-ins are added, if Chrome feels like moving quicker one day, etc.

The main question is, can it do everything FireFox3 can and still hold it’s self?
