Has anyone tried Google Chrome browser?
Is it worth using instead of Internet Explorer or Firefox?

I have both IE and GC on my PC and have done for some months. Whilst I
always used to use IE I find I use GC all the time now.

Likewise. GC is much faster that IE9, particularly when displaying
photos.

People make various claims for this or that browser being faster. I swap
around amongst various browsers I can't say I really notice any great
difference in general use


Chrome is faster than other browsers because it uses more cache. It's
not unusual to cache in excess of a gigabyte. With current PCs that's
not a problem.


I'm sure I'm able to change the amount of cache in most of the browsers
I use if I want to.

But I suspect there is a lot more to it than that. a lot of the focus is
on the speed of Javascript execution as so many websites/services rely
on that nowadays
