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.
