I just downloaded Google's new web browser Chrome. All I can tell you after just a half hours usage is that it's blazing fast compared to IE7. It's a beta download so your on your own if you decide to try it.

I never got around to trying Firefox.

I downloaded it, and uninstalled it about 10 minutes afterwards. Too minimalist for me, I think; I'm used to all the Firefox bells and whistles.

But I may give it another chance after it's out of beta.

I don't like some of the terms of the license agreement. I'll stick with my trusty old firefox.

I have the latest Firefox, which I love. It's also a lot faster and better than IE. It also has tons of skins you can use.

I tried the IE8 beta today. Typical Microsoft loaded with bugs. Debugger kept popping up. Pages didn't load right and you had to hit a "compatibility" button to make them load. I removed it within a half hour. There's some cool options with it, but it's a long way from ready.

right now, im using safari, and it works great. Way better than any i.e. I've never used firefox, so I can't really compare the two...
