Looks like Im going to have to change my browser soon.
 
You Tube isnt going to accommodate the older version of IE, which I have, and I cant update to the new IE8 because I dont have the license for my WindowsXP (which means they wont let me download the update).

Hmmmmmmm. So now I have to choose between the new google brower and Firefox.

what to do, what to do....

firefox. 3.5 is a huge improvement in speed.

Firefox wins.

Chrome is young yet, as a browser, and it shows. It doesn't allow any add-ons or toolbars; the very useful Google Toolbar is not available for Chrome.

You won't be sorry.

Ok I just did it. Now to play around with it. First thing I did was add the spellchecker.

I'm going to recommend Firefox 3.5 here. The add-ons make it completely worthwhile.

I use it at work. IE8 is pure fail on many levels.

beware the StumbleUpon plugin.

Biggest time-waster I ever installed and then became addicted to.

But interesting!

Firefox rules. Period.

Too late!

Update: I am currently using Chrome about half the time. The reason: it's so fast!

I started running it when I didn't have a browser up and just wanted to check something quick. I find myself running it more and more. I don't like that my favorite add-ons are not in Chrome, but damn, it's just so fast! Did I mention how fast it is?
