    I'm Google Chrome's latest fan!

    I use Firefox most of the time, and a little bit of Internet Explorer. Decided to take a look at Chrome again. Been two years since I looked at it last (was a late beta then).

    What an improvement.

    I really like the architectural differences in Chrome. First, each tab runs in a separate process space. So a flash app going slow in one tab does not slow down any other tab. Or if a flash app is running slow in one tab the other tabs continue to run at full speed.

    Chrome has a "Task Manager" so we can see how much resources each tab on your browser is using (effectively, how much resources every web site consumes).

    And it is nice and fast!

    If you haven't tried Chrome yet I'd say it is well worth a try.

    Its a great browser however should you wish to remove it from your system then after the removal you will find that web links in emails no longer work. The work around is to edit your registry removing the references to chrome that have been left behind.
    Don't judge me based upon your ignorance.

    I still am dumbstruck that a google product exists that does not have a search bar in it.......

    also can the colour scheme change? - I ditched that colour scheme back in Win95

    There is only a single bar. Either type a URL or a search query ...

    opera ftw, quick search feature sold me on it, just type the key letter followed by search term into address bar

    ie:
    g bikes
    will load a page showing a google search for bikes
    w honda
    will go straight to the honda wikipedia page, on my setup, right click any search text and you can add you own
    also it shows transfered data/rate etc for each page, and all round awesomness is also good.

    Usually dedicated to Firefox but just downloaded IE9 which is supposed to be amazing, will let you know(it runs the GPU for anything graphic heavy so apparently it's amazingly quick). I wonder if it still hates Margin: 0 auto;

    Good god yes. Always such an awful surprise when I use trawl the net on someone else's computer and get inundated with advertising. Also use a text ad blocker, cookie blocker and a few other nice plug-ins like the TinEye reverse image search.

    It kept the local i.t. guy employed for about 2 weeks straight.
    Conclusion : put firefox on everyone's client setup. I have no idea who gave him that idea after 2 weeks of fucking around
