    I love that GIF. :)

    To add something to the discussion:
    Since google is going to release their own (smart)phone models next year, they will probably get a lot of support for their browser, especially since it's the only browser that you will be able to use on their operating system (Android).

    If we take a look at what google has archieved with their search engine and other software, firefox could get quite a lot of competition next year. (I assume that people who use chrome on their phone, they will also want to give it a go on their computer. When they like it, they replace Internet Exlorer by Chrome, and never try Firefox.)

    ...and that's how it should be. Why should anybody waste their time with inferior when they can simply have something as golden as chrome?

    Firefox.
    It's easy to use and 100 times better than IE.
    Oh, and the Addons? Genius.

    Im using FF right now, ima try Opera. Chrome.. i think I have the highest hopes for since google endorses it or makes it.. i forgot which. IE simply blows.. and recently has huge exploits in its coding.. epic fail if you use. Safari.. ive heard good things, but never anything special.

    Chrome: Made by Google. Lowest memory usage. Highest sexiness.
    Safari: The most special thing is that it is used on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
    Opera: Lolwut? Only there because I've heard of it.
    Firefox: Internet Explorer with a cuter symbol.
    Internet Explorer: The browser equivalent of Bush: Goodbye and good riddance.

    In both IE and FF mouse button 3 is used to toggle scrolling, is there an option for this in chrome?

    Same for me, because I didn't get any further. I use that form of scrolling all the time, so I noticed lack of it instantly

    Ok, so.

    I recently purchased a netbook. 1 gig of RAM. Firefox is OK, but when you have FF+Winamp+Word running, it doesn't work too well.

    However.

    Chrome is an absolute GOD on something that doesn't have much RAM. It's blazingly fast as well, loading pages on my ****e wireless in a snap. Biggest problem so far: No AdBlock+

    I would like to change my vote, IE 8 on Windows 7 Sucks so terribly that Opera has become my browser of choice. IE 8: the champion of memory hogs.

    Also flash on win7 64bit is terrible, fix it nao.
