    Ok an Update
    I have been converted to Mozilla Firefox 3.0.4
    with added Australian spell check and speed dial as my add ons
    I dont say this often but "I Love Firefox
    Well its good to have another Qlder finally catch up with the rest of us ;D

    I have never tried Opera tho. I know it has its core of true-believers but FF has everything I need and more. One of its best features is the number of add-ons and extensions available.

    Its a pity there are still websites out there that arent completely compatible with FF - including CS but its a minor annoyance. I only use IE because MS insists on only allowing it for viewing MS Update

    I also tested Opera for some time and to this point in time Firefox just beat it to the post by a nose
    That said Opera has released a new browser Opera 10 Alpha (might give a trial run soon when it gets to Beta release)

    Both Firefox and Opera  are 3 times faster than IE 8 with start up and page loading, also more user friendly

    Google Chrome has a little way to go with small tweaks to catch up with Firefox and Opera

    Google Chrome will not show the regular look of "Quote"
    Normally one gets a green box with white writing

    Google chrome just gives you a different colour text on "Quote" without box

    Meanwhile back at the Google Chrome ranch:

    Someone potsed this comment about GC on another email forum:

    havent shut it down for 3 days, continuously opening new tabs and closing them..  right now I have 3 tabs opened and it is using 52MB of ram..  not bad, firefox would be upto about 260MB now and IE...  well, 500MB??

    Someone else added:

    Very very fast, especially loading objects out of cache but doesnt support a bunch of stuff yet - embedded objects and weirdly the touchpad side-scrolling feature to scroll down pages.

    Re: Google Chrome

    Everything I mentioned above has a drop down button to set, make changes or cancel at any time
    Page button, Safety Button, Tools Button
    Everything else like Favourites ect is all the same as before

    Re: Google Chrome

    It has a compatibility view button next to the refresh button to accommodate sites made for older browsers (I had to use this for Coffee Snobs on the answer/reply post section)

    If you highlight a section of text a blue arrow button comes up when you press it will search the net with those parameters

    It also has private browsing – nothing goes to history when set-
    Smart screen filter Help to protect you against deceptive and malicious websites which can compromise your data, privacy, and identity.

    That’s all I have got to so far
    But please have a look at the MS IE8 site as it has plenty more info

    What do you notice as the biggest diff compared to IE7?

    Well Chrome is still a beta version. Having said that, Gmail still appears as BETA after about 4 or 5 years
