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 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. |

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!

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? |
