Okay I am a bit at a lost to what you are talking about with Firefox not having tabbed browsing minus as an add-on. Even back when it was Mozilla Firebird it had tabbed browsing though the engine wasn't that great till 2.X but it had it. Past that I know from 2.X onwards it had bookmark keywords for that is when I first started using them. So this is nothing against the Avant browser, but it sure doesn't sound like you actively used Firefox or much used it at all with how you are talking here. Not to mention the tabbed browsing as far as I remember was never a plug-in and still isn't so that also is a bit questionable.
I have used Google Chrome and also don't prefer it, I will say it is a very good light-weight browser and has good load time as well. Though I couldn't get use to the GUI, and that was my major draw away from it. I guess it depends on personal preference when it comes to browsers some people stick with IE since they don't care others use choice of X browser for that is what they prefer.

Before Mozilla, Opera already had tabs and was the fastest browser at that time.
But Chrome's tabs beat all. Can easily move them around in any order you want or even off to make a new window. And right clicking any tab allows to reopen a closed tab. This has saved me so much time from accidentally closing the wrong tab.
When opening a blank tab, it shows thumbnails of recent sites visited which you can quickly go back to.
With a click can easily configure it so never shows or always shows a certain site. Plus has the history of last closed tabs.

Even better.
URL and Search are now entered in same box.
For example, typing in YouTube
It automatically fills in the url to my personal YouTube site.
But shows a list of other options like the past links viewed on YouTube.
So typing: YouTube Angel Beats OP
Will be able to use YouTube's own search engine to find all the Angel Beats openings.
Also able to quickly select the past history of whatever you type in, like a link to a thread in this forum about Angel Beats.
I believe Chrome is the most streamlined browser I've ever used. No extra garbage like other browsers, yet more functionality than any of them.

Except the "blank tab" and the function shown in your last screenshot FireFox has the other functions implemented as well.

Is Firefox able to open closed tabs as easily too?
btw, While Chrome automatically adds specific search engines as you browse, can easily configure keywords for specific search engines.

Right click on any tab or the tab bar and choose the option "Reopen closed tab" (my translation since I use a German version). Or do you mean that Chrome has the additional function to choose between the closed tabs and not just opening the last closed tab?
