Google Chrome and Other Alternative Browsers
For the first time ever - and a lot of you tech guys will probably laugh at this - I've just clicked on Google Chrome, which I've had on my computer for ages, to see what it's like.
Have to say I'm pretty impressed with the speed compared to Internet Explorer; Looks like I'll be using this all the time now. Pages load up much faster.
My question is: what other browsers are there and how do they compare to Google Chrome? What do the rest of you use?
Cheers,
Alan

Chrome is pretty quick - the downside being that a fair few websites won't work on it (yet).
tbh, I use Firefox. (can't remember the last time I used IE)

Chrome is a bit too lite for me
and it has a reall hissy fit with vista.
downloads become a real gamble,
Firefox 3 at the moment.
4 has turned into bloatware, with loads of """integrated""
unnecessary stuff added..

I was reading on engadget about IE9, it comes only second to google chrome.
"We've hit you with a lot of information here, but at the end of the day our main question remains: do we need to continue to download Chrome or Firefox every time we get a new PC? Our answer: it's certainly not mandatory anymore, or at least it shouldn't be by the time IE9 is ready to ship with new PCs. The interface is attractive and clean, the new features robust and the speed greatly improved. Microsoft has sped up and cleaned up Internet Explorer 9 to a point where it's not only usable, but actually a real pleasure to use.
Is it worth running to download right this second, and will it replace Chrome or Firefox on your desktop? That's really up to you. We'd suggest testing it out – what's there to lose, right? (We should note we couldn't get it to install properly on a Gateway ID laptop and had to do a system restore to get IE8 back correctly.) We still find Chrome to be a faster browser and those seeking just raw speed will probably be happier with Google's product, but now with IE9's improved feature set and interface it's ultimately going to come down to personal preferences."

Thanks for the replies. Might have to give Firefox a go sometime. Didn't realise some sites wouldn't work on Chrome.
Might just keep using it anyway... can always use Internet Explorer if I can't get on a site with Chrome.
