I don't really care which one you use, or if you stay with Explorer. It's a personal choice which one you prefer. But my persona favourite is Pale Moon, which is based off Firefox and fully compatible with its add-ons. If going with a Chrome derivative, I'd probably pick SRWare Iron (though, as people have said, you need to check for updates manually).

You have opened the pandora's box TinyE, what have you done now this thread has become Firefox vs Chrome while Internet Explorer Explorer watches from the sidelines. :P

Open 10 videos, let them start loading, one crashes, the other 9 crash as well. Separate memory allocations do have their benefit as well. And if you do want to kill all the processes, "taskkill /IM chrome.exe" should do the trick.

Indeed that is true but I still would rather have a single memory allocation so that I can keep tabs on it more easily when my system slows down or decides to choke, the reason may seem ridiculous but that is how I feel about it. Yeah, the kill command does work to immediately shutdown Chrome with all the processes. :)

Opera. Safari (no, seriously, don't use that one, its Windows version hasn't been updated in ages, and probably never will be again).

There, now the "big" ones are gathered.

My brother owns and operates his own computer company and I just found out he uses Firefox so I'm playing with that right now. My biggest problem so far is that while it imported all of settings from IE it didn't import my passwords and I was sitting here for a second banging my head trying to remember my GOG login. :P

Good thing when you've finally figured out your passwords and told the new browser to remember them, Firefox (and Chrome) can display them for you, Explorer can't.

More specifically, RTSes. You are required by certain EULAs you already agreed to (by pressing the "yeah yeah whatever button") to have several installed at any given time. Failure to comply is punishable by Keaning.

Rock on! Glad to hear you're back up and running. ^_^

That is exactly what I would recommend. -_^

I never understood why people were all that hung up about the version numbering. The number now is the point release, they just dropped the major version number, which was actually pretty arbitrary (see below).

So instead of stressing that it's version 26, call it 4.26 and be happy.

Long boring part:
Major version numbers historically were saved for major - potentially incompatible - releases. So, if you were using v3.x of something, be careful about upgrading to v4.x, right? Two reasons why that totally doesn't apply with browsers, though

1) there is extremely rarely any compatibility breakage. Only in the case of people writing to proprietary and deprecated features, and those are basically broken by design (hi, ActiveX). Go to zombo.com and be welcomed to a site that has been working since 1999.

2) For the sake of the Web, people really need to keep moving, upgrading with the web. If people feel they need to stay back with v3.x or whatever "just to be safe" then developers can't implement upcoming standards that are getting to be really important. The death of XP (more precisely, IE 6) is a great thing for the web in general. (Yes I know IE8 runs in XP... it's not all that great either).

Version numbers aren't something that the web user should ever really worry about. If it were that important, then each web page really should have a version number.

I use all three. Chrome is my favorite browser. Firefox is set up solely for my private viewing. IE is for work: timesheet, webmail, etc.
Firefox used to be my favorite, but I hated a few things about it. The main being if I type in a word or phrase that I want to search for in firefox, sometimes it brings up the google search but half the time it brings up "search word" .com which is irritating. To work around that issue you have to put a question mark in front of your search word, which I hate doing. The other thing was my companies timesheet didn't display correctly in it and some sites just didn't print right.

I personally use Chrome the most. Firefox on occasion, and IE to laugh at the poor blokes who can't view the web in a standards-compliant browser. (I'm a web developer...)

Man I'm glad your away from IE if people truly understood how powerful Active X is, I think most people would stop using IE period (my friends dad showed us a joke website a long time ago that when visited said it would give you a free cup holder and the cd drive opened. Being the clever kid I was, it wasn't hard to imagine someone using similar code to tell the computer to break itself). I like Firefox. If you have a decent amount of RAM it's footprint shouldn't be concerning (I commonly play games with the browser on with no issues). Also with firefox, you can give it adblock plus and NoScript which neuters a lot of evil sites. I highly recommend those ad ons. My secondary is Chrome. It has a built in turn script off feature but it won't let you pick and choose like NoScript can, it's an all off or all on deal.
