Default Anyone not using Google Chrome...

Should really consider moving from Internet Explorer, the free app store is fantastic

I've got IE8, Google Chrome, Opera, Firefox and Safari browsers.... Use IE most of the time as Chrome is not 100% compatible with my web hosting company....

I just wish that browsers would read the specs of HTML from W3 and not add little bits in.... oh well, you can always dream

I do use Chrome for reading the news as it's faster.... so it has it's uses

I have been using Firefox ever since it came out and would not consider using anything else.

I used chrome I think its great its got a spell checker and for instance it will spell check your posts on this forum and its fast and doesn't have the annoying over the top safety aspects of IE8

We have Firefox but was generally happy with IE8. Then I let MS install IE9 and everything has slowed to snails pace.

It seems to lock itself, and whatever else on the computer it can grab, until it has every last bit of the web page you clicked. A complete pain.

I hear Chrome on a Windows PC is plenty quick.
