Just downloaded Google Chrome and every website including this one loads much faster than with Internet Explorer. Well worth the download for browsing!

Neither! Firefox :D and adblock plus to get rid of the crap :) Oh and you know you've started a big debate now....

Its not to bad. I tend to hover between Chrome and Firefox but still use Firefox a lot more.

I found uploading photo links from Photobucket to the forum as well as using Photobucket in general was a nightmare with Internet Explorer, it kept crashing and hanging which was very frustrating. I'm finding Chrome is a breath of fresh air. :D

Firefox here too.

I find IE a nightmare to browse with and the newest version is the same as its predecessors.

I always use Chrome, and very rarely have problems with it.

Never liked IE, makes me laugh the current ads for the newest version promoting it's privacy virtues like anti-tracking etc (Microsoft and privacy !), stuff that Firefox has had available as ad ons for years !

internet explorer x 64 is the fastest thing I've used but it's stupid and I have all sorts of problems on VPC so I use firefox too. Chrome seems to be less reliable on my system. It's as quick as firefox but not as good.

I'm not a fan of the layout of chrome, just can't get used to it.

Chrome for me, used to be a fan of firefox but now I have my Android phone, Chrome just integrates with it beautifully. Also just got a webcam with mic and can now search on Chrome on PC by voice.

I've only ever used IE. i'm on IE10 right now and never seem to have any problems. Occasionally get a random black screen that I have to close and re-open the tab, but that's it!

So where's Chrome?

Post 609483 by Santa on 2013-05-23 19:59:12

[QUOTE=stribo;609472]So where's Chrome?[/QUOTE] Its an old version of the stat engine so doesn't differentiate between Chrome/Safari or KDE's web browser. (All based on the same framework).

Looks like Dave was right, I have basically started a big debate. :D

We can look into problems when using the site under Internet Explorer if people report it.

Chrome for me purely for how all the google stuff integrates between pc and android phone.
