saint_stevo Posted 16 December, 2008 Share Posted 16 December, 2008 I like Google Chrome, its my browser of choice at the moment. Favourites generally move across, does with firefox, not really checked with Chrome, its less of a swap over, more giving yourself another option, IE remians in situ and can be used as well as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisthehulk Posted 16 December, 2008 Share Posted 16 December, 2008 (edited) In general I use IE, does the job most of the time and I am used to it, but I use Chrome occasionally if I am visiting a site which I know has lots of popups, as you dont tend to get as many/any. Edit: However, having now read the security threat thread, Chrome it is for now... Edited 16 December, 2008 by mynameisthehulk As above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSaint Posted 16 December, 2008 Share Posted 16 December, 2008 Not worried about the current IE scare? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7784908.stm I use Firefox and like it. Doesn't take much time to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 16 December, 2008 Share Posted 16 December, 2008 IE is just so damn slow and clunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't take much time to adjust. Don't change, say Micro$oft, it only affects 0.02% of web sites. Err, that's some 40,000 websites at an estimate, Mr Gates. If I used IE that would be enough of a percentage for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume I can still make the assumption that the vast majority of viruses are written to infect IE users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
