OT: What is the best browser for 914world, I have had it with IE! Options

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.

I had tried firefox a while back, and I think that I had a beta version, something like namabantu 64 or whatever. It kinda sucked. I downloaded the regular version as Andy suggested, and so far, I am digging it. Much, much faster than IE, plus the added bonus of not croaking every few hours. No quirks as far as I can tell.

I too am growing fearful of google. I have an android phone, and it is unsettling that they know and track where I go, who I call, who I know, my favorite porn sites, what time I get up and go to bed, etc. Apple does much of the same with the iphone, but I would not credit google with nearly as much faith in their ethics. Plus, they are in bed with the government, which scares me even more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
