    some message boards won't work with IE,which is why i switched to begin with.

    right now, i go back and forth with the 2 browsers...what a pain.

    I use it sometimes. When I'm on the board and try to reply to a post I always get an error message that says the site is not available. However, if I wait a few minutes my post shows up. anyone else have this problem or is it just me? I usually use IE for this board so I don't get this error message.

    I use Google Chrome (went from Firefox) and I like it. The only problem I find is that I cannot enlarge the print like I was able to with Firefox(easliy) and that it just takes a little getting used to.

    To change size of print on page click "wrench" in upper right corner and then + or - at Zoom.

    I use and have been using Google Chrome for almost 2 years. IE was too slow so I tried it and loved it. I have had no problems and like it a lot. Recently I tried Firefox and I like it but I like Google Chrome a lot more. I haven't tried to print so don't know the hazards there.

    Hmm - this is an interesting and timely topic. I downloaded the Chrome but haven't figured it out yet (I use IE). I can't warm up to the Bing - so far it seems like a nuisance. Will go back and try the Chrome now that I have seen a few tweeks mentioned here, Thanks.

    I've got a little rolodex next to my computers where I have my sites and passwords - - well at least 90% of them - I occasionally run across one I forgot to make a card for.

    Most sites will provide you with your chosen password if you request it. :-)

    My solution for printing is to click Advanced when print screen opens up and then print. Don't know if that works with every printer but it does with my HP.

    Both Hubby and I have Macs - Hubby runs Chrome and says he prefers it over any other browser.

    I started out with Safari but switched to Firefox Mozilla because it allows me to access and run highly encrypted Banking and Government Websites to do some of my online online.

    I personally love Firefox - it's faster than any other Browser I've used and has a lot more security functions you can utilize when accessing websites.
