I have a relatively new PC with Win 7 and was using IE 9. I also have Kaperskys anti-virus. IE was constantly puking, dying, etc. Plus it is slow.
So, I switched over to Chrome. Much, much faster, but quirky. With IE, I could click on a post, read it, hit back, and it would refresh the page so that any new or updated posts would be at the top with the symbol showing that there is new content. Not so with Chrome. Additionally, Chrome also "loses" back pages, which is kind of frustrating. I have not compared Firefox yet. I know that it has its issues as well. Would love to hear Andy's opinion here. |

Chrome is cool and I use it, but I like Firefox as well.
The thing I hate about Chrome has less to do with its usability (great) than with its installation configurability. Chrome insists on installing on your standard Windows application location on the C: drive, and the installation doesn't let you change that. If you can live with that restriction, knock yourself out. I installed Chrome on my XP box, but I use Firefox on my Win7 box. I still use IE sometimes... the remote access to my work intranet does not support Firefox. But I always shower after using IE to avoid that "not so fresh" feeling. |
