I absolutely ADORE being “behind” the pack when the leaders are getting a mouthful! I too use Firefox and like Patrick, only load up MSIE when I’m making sure a theme is IE friendly!

I was another who didn't download chrome - I like firefox and I'm keeping it. Stuart heard a radio talk with an ex Google employee. He was saying that Chrome is not a good product and the new browser Microsoft are bringing out is actually better. I would hate to think how Google will use the info they collect. I have aol email but I get so much spam in there. If I search a particular product on Google, seconds later my inbox is full of spam on the same topic. According to Stuart, the ex Google employee in the radio interview said it is Google that is responsible for this spam in my AOL inbox. So, I'm keen to avoid allowing Google to have any more of my details. <abbr><em>Cath Lawsons last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SuccessPasscode/~3/383846725/" rel="nofollow">Reaching Over The Fence</a></em></abbr> Hi Kathy – it’s brilliant that we can avoid bad products by reading other people’s reviews isn’t it?

I wish a lot more people did too or at least thought about alternatives than what they slap on your computer when you buy it. Of course I'm a Mac user by default so I tested out Google Chrome in my virtual machine. Speaking of that I have been seriously considering changing my personal duties within my own company so I can be Windows free. About the only time I use Windows is to check a site out in IE (which I don't do a lot of that myself - someone else does) or to convert or read some file someone thought would be a good idea to create in Microsoft Publisher which has not easy way to open on the Mac. It is interesting that webkit (what both Safari and Chrome) are based on seems to have a superior rendering engine in terms of speed yet I have a very minimal desire to use either Safari or Chrome on a regular basic except of course for my iPhone. I will however continue to tell out this stuff because I did need to know the pros and cons. Thankfully I did have a testing environment. All that being said, I'm not a big fan of the registry in Windows anyway not to mention the way IE is rooted to the OS. One reason I have suggested people check out the alternatives. <abbr><em>Patricks last blog post..<a href="http://www.spinningsilkmultimedia.com/what-browser-are-you-using/" rel="nofollow">What browser are you using?</a></em></abbr> Of course I remain using Firefox as my main browser.
