    Ha, this thread hasn't got much attention with all the Chrome threads covering this up. Yay FF!

    I love FF and really have zero interest in the Google browser. One thing I do hope they address is performance. The browser seems to bog down at times if I go to videogame sites that use lots of flash based ads. Disabling javasript does the trick.

    Opera on the other hand has no issues handling those types of sites.

    i saw some pics of the Google browser and it's features and I wasn't impressed. I don't know why everyone is so lathered up over that browser.

    I didn't mean to take your thread off topic. :)

    Regardless of which browser one is using, there are always sites that would cause issues to one, and not to others. It is always good to produce a link to a site (or sites) so that others can verify and check it (them) for the benefits of all browser users.

    cheers ...
