Are you running on a Commodore 64? I don't see how the resources used by a web browser could slow down your computer if you're running a box built after 1997.

I typically have Photoshop and some combination of several other Adobe CS programs running at the same time when I'm working. When I open Firefox, it can fuck everything up. Doesn't happen with Chrome.

Well me and that printer have been friends for a lot longer than you and I have, Google Chrome. And I have no intention of severing that relationship. So I'm kicking you to the curb and going back to Firefox, which seems to actually enjoy chatting with the printer every day and has always faithfully printed that international postage you were just too good for. You were fast, Google Chrome, I'll give you that, and that's all anyone sees in you.

P.S. Please don't steal all my CDs like the last browser I dumped did.

Chrome's just not that into you.

FF11 screwed up some things for us at work, but I generally recommend Firefox.

Chrome owns Firefox. Never had a problem with Chrome, and it's faster than any other browser I've used.

I use Explorer because Firefox and I started off on the wrong foot and have continued from there. It also REALLY annoys Jude so double bonus.

Anyone who uses Internet Explorer on purpose deserves to have their balls cut off.

Well they've had 2 years to get their shit synched together with Amazon's and eBay's international shipping PDFs, and it got worse instead of better now. That's a fail.

I use Chrome and Safari. I like them both for different things.

Chrome's End-User License Agreement makes for some very interesting reading, esp. where the ownership of Uploads is concerned... Don't be surprised if your baby pix turn up in Google ads.

If you want Chrome's features, get Chromium, the unbranded open source version. It's available for Linux, of course, and it can be built on Windows.

I'm a Fifrefox / Thunderbird devotee, but I also condone the use of Opera, even though you'll occasionally run across an unsupported site.

IE is a first rate tool for downloading a decent browser... Credit where credit is due.
