I've always been a Firefox fan, but I'm having a much smoother experience in Chrome right now. Pages scroll much more smoothly, and load quickly.
I also had no idea that Chrome had become the most commonly used browser on non-mobile devices last year!

I've been using Chrome for a while for my Boards and haven't had many issues at all.

This is like night and day to me. This morning, it was staggering and freezing and sluggish. Its like I got a new computer!
I've used Chrome plenty, just never for the boards. There are still some sites that don't work particularly well in Chrome. Fortunately they are decreasing in number.

IE10. Runs smooth. Google is the future skynet, I will not feed the monster.

Does IE10 run better on Windows 8? Or will it perform equally well in Windows 7?
IE9 left a bad taste in my mouth. Perhaps it is also because I am using 64 bit, and it seemed like a lot of sites reject 64 bit browsers.

I'm running it on my Surface Pro because that is what it came with. |

I have been running Chrome on my laptop for over a year now. Until I downloaded it, I was ready to throttle IE.

Virgil's white tiger plays for me in Chrome, but not IE.
There is also one game site where one particular game played smoothly with Chrome, but very choppy in IE.

I tried Chrome and it was pretty good for most things and better than IE8 and IE9. With my new laptop I now have IE10 and it's better than Chrome for me.  Don't tell Virgil. |
