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 -- Chris French |

Where is the Edit feature on GC? I can't find it. Click the spanner. About 3 or 4 items down the menu.

Don't use Google Chrome unless you're happy for it to report back to Google all your browsing habbits, it builds up a profile so that it can tailor adverts etc to plague you with instead use SRWare Iron which is the same software without the google bits. 'SRWare Iron - The Browser of the Future' (http://tinyurl.com/4qlm5r) With a few minutes' work you can disable just about everything. See http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/privacy.html. the only advertising I see in Chrome is when a site embeds something and, in fact, Chrome stops more of that than IE does - in Chrome I regularly see empty boxes where IE displays ads. I do not use Google as my search engine so that may make some difference.

'SRWare Iron - The Browser of the Future' (http://tinyurl.com/4qlm5r) The report back is optional and SFAIK it defaults to no. I have it enabled because I use the developer path versions - that's currently 14.0.835.2 m No adverts either. Steve -- Neural network software applications, help and support.

Smaller memory footprint is probably one. I get the feeling it's the path of least resistance when you're using google services. |

And it's not just a browser. It has a built-in email client and newsgroup client. www.opera.com/download |
