Google Chrome vs. IE
I got into a little trouble last month with some malware, and I removed my Google Chrome and returned to using IE 8.
What a big difference. IE 8 most times seems to hang and hang....showing me that hourglass icon.
Today I got sick of it, and reinstalled Chrome. It's faster than lightning, and certainly faster than ole IE.
Anyone else notice that?
Opinions, if you have one.

If I never see FF or IE on my computer again, I will be fine. HATE THEM BOTH.
Google Chrome pains my arse because it constantly whines about plug-ins.
I will keep Chrome.

Only problem with Google Chrome is that lots of websites will not work with it. I really like GC

I use IE9 but
and don't seem to have any serious problems. Every now and then it "quits" Nothing outrageous. What is "better" about Google Chrome... seriously. I have no loyalty to IE .. Just would like to know what is better about it. Would gladly change with reason. Anbody?

Re: I use IE9 but
IE has a way of having security issues that "invite" viruses/trojan horses/malware/other security issues." I only use it when the website I want to use says "we accept IE ONLY", as in some government websites. No web browser is secure.
If you want to use another persons computer (personal or work), I suggest looking at "surfeasy.com" as whatever you do on the other computer leaves no trace of ever happening. If is great for free wi-fi or any type on a PC (not sure if it works on Apple) (coffee shop, library, airport, etc).

Re: Chrome is much faster than my IE
Well I will give it a try. Like I said I have IE9.. The usual "not responding" occasionally but... wtheck I will give Chrome a try. It is forever showing up on my computer because I forget to "uncheck" everytime I download updates or something and I keep uninstalling it. So I will try it. I know that IE is much faster since I decided to connect my main computer through an ethernet connection instead of using my wireless network. I didn't think there would be so much of a difference. And there was really no reason for me to be wireless except "who likes wires."

Remember life when we just had dial-up and we thought ... Isn't this great? And then came Broadband... and now... nothing is fast enough...
