Wow - I just tried it now that I have seen some stuff here about operating it and other than having to sign into things again (passwords) all over again - so far I am impressed. It seems fast compared to what I had.

I went from the always slow IE to Firefox, then tried Chrome and didn't like it as much as Firefox so switched back. I love the tabs on Firefox and I don't think they had that feature when I used Chrome. I also love the ad blocker and the little space where you can put an icon for your favorite sites. Maybe Chrome has all of this now but I'm too happy to bother switching or trying it again.

Just downloaded Google Chrome the other day but haven't tried it out yet. Firefox for me - for now. I still have IE on mine and HAVE TO use it at work. Probably the reason we have so much trouble with Siebel going down all the time.....

I use Sea Monkey. I have used it ever since I got my first computer in 2002. You can get it a this website: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ I love that I can enlarge the text size with out changing any other thing on the page. I can also check my email by going to Window and choose Mail and Newsgroup. It helps if you have set Sea Monkey up to download your email from the web. Like having Road Runner as your email. I even got my hubby using Sea Monkey as his browser.You can open tabs in it just like IE but it is so much easier to use than IE. I have IE on this computer but I rarely use it.

I love Chrome! Be sure to get the Ad-Block Plus add-on, too (that goes for Chrome AND FireFox). No more ads! :thumbup:
FireFox is great, but I prefer Chrome since I play a couple of FaceBook games. It seems to be a bit faster and a bit more stable than FireFox when it comes to Flash games. :)

I have used Google Chrome off and on since my computer whiz son told me he uses it. I like it. I just haven't switched my email from yahoo and it is easy to access it from IE. I'm not really happy with IE though because it keeps shutting down while I'm using it. So I think I will finally make the switch since I can keep my email as it and still use GC. Good luck with your choice. You can try it and see if you like it. :)
