    I think it has something to do with a different bookmarking system and being able to download video files directly from the web page you're on.

    I just recently this month started using google chrome as my primary browser for the mmo, but I still use comet bird on the side for other things, while I'm not playing the game.

    Chrome is a lot better for the game and there's no lag.

    It relates to how the RAM is used. Just having chrome only isn't imo, all good. It does crash when you have too many tabs open in chrome, but not so much with comet bird.
    They are two separate programs running, so RAM is used better.

    Chrome is your friend. Especially because it has pictures of Sad Tabs.
    And it is way superfast.

    I use Chrome because it is a fairly minimalistic ui and it is freaking fast.
    If I need IE for a page I use IE tab for Chrome and in the event Chrome isn't compatible with something but it doesn't require IE only I use FF.

    Firefox has much more plugins created for it and is much better for customizability (which isn't a word but I made it one). But Chrome is faster and takes up less screen space (which is real important for me. My screen is TINY!)

    Same here quinn with the tiny screen.

    but on firefox I close the menu, bookmark and navigation toolbars so that my screen is sizeable.

    I use alt-bookmarks usually to navigate places. I have google bookmarked so i dont have to open then close the navigation tab.

    A slight substitute for Chrome in this case but it still isnt enough in either browser sometimes! :(

    For some reason Safari is more stable on my comp at the moment, but I usually use FF3. Might upgrade to FF4 if the browser keeps dying on me--it crashes about once every 15 mins or so.

    does that include sites with flash? because for some reason ff doesn't like flash so much. Other then that firefox is a stable browser, it just that it doesn't support a lot code wise (which is why I prefer IE).

    If it isn't the case, you should really do a proper virusscan

    Using FF4 now, was hooked on Chrome for a couple months but switched back to FF for the add-ons and I didn't like the autofill feature when searching on Chrome.

    Create a poll? Nah, you can just comment. Might make a poll later.

    So, I'm sure our vast community uses a variety of browsers, from the spartan simplicity, speed, and power of google chrome to the addon paradise that is mozilla firefox, from the flagship browser of apple, safari to the microsoft internet explorer.

    The question is, which one are you using? (if you aren't using the most current advanced stable release, for example internet explorer 6 instead of 9, specify :))

    I myself am using google chrome 15, currently in the dev channel, because I wanted to switch to the beta channel but it was having issues xD so instead, I'm two versions (three months of release schedule time) ahead of those with the stable release. It has its bugs, of course, and it takes some patience, and you're essentially obliged to report all bugs that haven't already been identified, but I like it :) nice and fast.

    Satsu, who is forum posting impaired, is running ff6
