    Urghz...

    I gave it a try for 2 days, and its absolute crap.

    If you are on MS Wincrap systems, and you want speed, I strongly recommend Safari for PC.

    Google Chrome won't work with some website. IE is absolute crap no matter which version you use. And finally, FireFox reigns supreme. dancey1

    OT: anyone tried Chrome? I love Firefox 3 but apparently Chrome is the shit right now.

    Firefox and Chrome is much better than IE. I have both, chrome is very very very simple, no add-ons and doesnt do much, i'd say its perfect for netbooks, it also loads much faster than firefox on a cold boot. After that, i think firefox is slightly faster. Chrome having the tabs on the top bar (the windows bar or whatever its called) saves a bit of space, and there isnt a status bar, saves more space. Ideal for the small resolution of netbooks
