I use Firefox for somethings but I find it uses a lot of resourses with it's constant attempts to update.

Tried Chrome but it tried to take over even though I told it not too :rant: and in anycase I've found it a horrible interface and didn't display Radar Virturl in the same way as the other browsers.

Stuck with IE despite it not being powerful enough for some things.

Lunascape is a triple engine browser, it can run all Firefox addons you can import everything from Firefox into Lunascape and you can swap between rendering engines and even have all three on the screen at once, perfect for website development as you can see problems with Trident, Gecko or Webkit.

It's also speed tested faster than other browsers.

I dunno what I am then. I use IE and Firefox so I guess I have a slightly higher IQ than your average IE user but slightly lower than a Firefox user. As for Safari, Camino and Opera.. I've never heard of em :lol: I have heard of Chrome but refuse to try it just because it's there. I've enough crap on my PC already and another browser.. well, I need that like I need herpes :lol:

I downloaded Google Earth tonight and found that Chrome came bundled with it. Rather cheeky sort of tactic I'd expect from Microsoft or Apple, but there we are , Google have lowered themselves to teh same level. Unfortunately, my employer still insists on IE6, hopefully we upgrade later this year!

Bless your employer Toby. I wish I still had IE6 and not IE7 I found myself forced into getting 8) Fortunately, my Google Earth is an older version so I didn't have to have Chrome installed. I often get reminded though!
