I started using google chrome about 6 months ago and haven't looked back. I love it.
For those of you who are looking for a way to possibly speed up FireFox then check out the Pale Moon Project (Link). And be sure to look over the FAQ.
This is for Windows only.
The latest Opera 11.52 looks nice. I quit Safari again, because itīs to much Apple for me...It bet it work perfect on a Mac computer - but on a Win pc itīs not "all-that"..
Opera looks alot like FF (or is it the other way round) but it feels quite fast. No lockups so far.

I'm rocking the latest FF these days, and it's fast. They must have fixed something, because no lockups in a while, and I think it's acting faster than IE9 (which in my opinion is by far the best I've seen from MS).
Chrome was blazing fast back when I used it, but I uninstalled it when F$ reported about their tracking stuff. Just out of principle - that just isn't right. I can understand getting all the data you can off someone when they come to your site (google.com, etc), I mean the person is asking for it by visiting your site in a way. But to track them when they leave your site...that I just can't agree with. A real pity, because at least a few months ago, Chrome was really fast.
@DrPop: Good to hear that. Don't know what they fixed.
I finally tried Pale Moon. Now I can honestly say that it blows the doors off of Mozilla's standard issue. Even with all of my add-ons![]()
Is that some kind of souped up version of FF or something new? (Pale Moon).
Funny my uncle just emailed me today and asked if I'd heard anything about Opera, because he quit Chrome due to the issues, and found Opera. I've never used it...maybe I should?
I'm willing to give the pale moon a few days to see if I like it, what extensions don't you get if yu run the 64 bit version, anyone know off the top of their heads?
It has the same defaults as standard FF. Pale Moon does not have as many items in its "Customize Toolbar" as FF but all of my FF add-ons work including Better Privacy, All-In-One Sidebar, FlagFox, ShowIP, Grease Monkey, AdBlock Plus, Download Manager Tweak, BeefTaco & NASA Night Launch Theme.
