    Yeah it is fine, I use it now instead of FF.

    As for the fastest, Safari is the the fastest, but not by much. It all comes down to what you want out of your browser, that also gives you the fastest performance over all.

    Firefox is great for addons and speed.
    Chrome great built in functions and speed.
    Safari edges on speed by a bit, overall though meh
    IE........ nuff said. lol

    I couldn't believe that Chrome was faster than Firefox, so I downloaded it myself.


    Yes, it is faster than Firefox :( but being an add-on whore like myself, I still prefer Firefox :)

    For me, chrome is like a 17 year old boy. It's fast and powerful when it wants to be, but much too unreliable and slobs off too often. I prefer my 35 year old man, firefox which can be slower but always does it's job.

    I've never had a problem with my '17 year old boy'. lol... But like you said since it's younger, it gets the jobs I need it to do faster without fault. I mean if I want run a GM script that is a different story, but now with extensions with chrome, I might not need FF at all =p

    I thought Opera was pretty fast back when i used it; I personally stay away from Chrome. I use Firefox as my preferred Browser, due to speed and customization.

    First off we already told him which browsers were faster then IE, and FF comes in like 4th out of all the ones mentioned.

    Second have you ever used Chrome? And if you would explain what 'heavy' means... If you mean over all look, then I don't know how more bare bones Chrome could be, it is the simplest browser there is maybe next to Opera. With Chrome I don't have to worry about scripts and extra bars to slow is down. My Firefox program on my old computer size was over 2gigs(no clue how lol) in fact with all the crap on it. Now that is 'heavy' just for a browser. Sure it is a great utility browser with great addons, but for a faster browser there are better.
