Ever since a lot of sites started using HTML5 video, yes, Chrome has been very buggy for me.

Chrome is beautiful but that's only because I have a brand new computer. Chrome didn't work for me at all on my Dell Laptop

Anybody try the new Firefox Mozilla version 29? I haven't used firefox for several years because it became too slow. The new version seems faster & lighter. Looks very similar to Google Chrome actually.

Yup, I like it. I might still go back to Chrome, though, if videos would load properly.

Chrome with adblock plus using easylist, easyprivacy, and Fanboy's annoyance list. I have a RAMDRIVE setup using RamdiskVE and I store my chrome internet cache there using windows built in mklink.

"mklink /j "C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\U ser Data\Default\Cache" "F:\Cache"

Also use lastpass and xmarks.


I have a firefox installation but find myself mostly not using it right now. I hope they can make a comeback and start listening to all their users a bit more. Chrome has managed to create a browser engine that just feels faster.

I do wish browsers had an 'instant back' function like Opera's old engine used to have. No need to refresh the page every time I press the back button to view a previously viewed page.

I can't say I have a favorite. They all have little annoyances that keep me from liking them or to use any of them exclusively.

Flash is the common annoyance of all of them. How that became as popular as it is, for how lousy it works......if it works at all.
