    Safari looks good and I did like it but found it slower then fire fox and no where as fast as chrome. I did download Maxthon but haven't got around to using yet something I probably should do and check it out. I downloaded it because it was suppose to be faster then chrome and had some other cool features that would make some of my thread making ideas with all the screen captures I do go faster but my daughter took my laptop because hers crashed and I never downloaded it to my wife's laptop that I'm using now. Now I'm going to have to go download and check out since you reminded me.

    Incognito is pretty nice! I'm practically using it all the time!

    Not sure what everyone is using for there ISP either that makes a difference. I currently have the biggest connection that's offered in my area I'm pegged out at 20MB download and 1MB up load. I called to get the wide band at 60MB down but its not in my area yet I have 2 PS3's 1 Wii 2 Iphones 2 droids 4 laptops 1 Desktop 1 TV and my satellite also hooked up to my internet. So having a fast browser comes in handy when my son is slaying dudes on COD and the daughter is streaming movies and the wife is working 20MB don't go as far as you think it will. I downloaded Maxthon 3 and took a look its very clean looking I'll dig into it and report back on it later Hoax what do you thing of it.

    I just tried chrome based on you guy's reccomendations. It's wicked fast! I never use IE cause it's useless and unsecure so Firefox has been the weapon of choice for about 6-7 years now but i'm going to start moving to chrome. It's got a different layout so i'm trying to get used to it. However the differences make it more effecient and quick to navigate. Thanks for the heads up.

    Sal I haven't tried it, I mostly just giving you a hard time about using them "all" there are so many obscure browsers that no one has ever even heard of was more my point. They aren't in the mainstream.. I keep with the normal ones because between the 4 that covers 99% of the population and a lot of the way websites are rendered is based on the same base code for these smaller browsers.

    I just remembered another feature of Chrome that is pretty neat. It allows for "Cloud Printing" so if you travel a lot and found something of interest apparently you can print it at home. (I haven't had a need for this yet, but it's still pretty neat)

    Maxthon 3 seems to be quick but so far no quicker then chrome IMO. I'm having trouble customizing the home screen the way I have my Chrome laid out but for right now anyway it's ok not good enough to replace Chrome. Hoax I get ya I'm sure you remember but when I started using chrome it was one of the obscure ones no ever heard of they all have to start somewhere. I remember when IE flooded the market and was free and go sued over that it changed the way we use the internet for ever and lead to the way we operate now. No more doing flash email because you were being charged by second to be on the internet how many remember those days.

    Haven't you heard about the new studies that show IE users have a lower IQ? (No kidding)

    I like FF, but suddenly looking at the desktop when it crashes out ain't a' makin' many points lately. I'll have to give Chrome a try.

    I've never experienced a crash that was caused by chrome. At some points I can have a dozen tabs or more open and have no problems. You try that with IE and it will kill your computer LOL
