I never have understood what the hell is the difference between internet explorer, firefox, and chrome

I use firefox but only because some computer nerd told me to

So I should be using chrome then apparently???

Minefield ftw. There was a security patch earlier today, I assume it's fixed now.

ive moved on ... chrome is lush .... just installing it on linux now

there's nothing i miss about firefox (just yet) and im still using thunderbird for my mail but am definatley noticing chrome is faster

... spreading like a worm apparently you can protect yourself by ensuring you have well configured firewalls running on each machine on your network

god help the lame lol ;) :D

Been using Chrome for a year or so now. I haven't seen need for noscript or anything, I rarely see any popups or any of that for whatever reason.

Check out http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/ ... xtensions/

http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:+/2010 ... xtensions/

Adblock and other major ones support chrome now. As for scripts I just have javascript off and java restricted.
