    Downloaded the new Internet from Google. It's Google Chrome and I love it! It's fast, uncluttered, and slightly customizable. I've got it on a darker background and it's nice for keeping fatigue off the eyes. It's got a built in spellcheck (which is telling me that spellcheck is not a recognized word) which comes in handy all the time. The URL acts like a Google search menu so if I type Mike Wazowski, it'll search for the little green dude from "Monster's Inc." My only problem with it is that my favorites menu is now a separate window. I can help on that if anyone wants to try Chrome out for a spin. Check it out, tell me what you think.

    I did like it but I still liked IE8 the best. Which is funny cause I hated all other IE's.
    I used to use firefox but when I built my computer last jan. I tested all of them and with win 7 it just didn't work as well for me, still didn't think it was as fast as IE8

    My computer recognized IE8 as a problem and immediately shuts it down. I figured out how to get my bookmarks on there, so I'd say this is my favorite internet yet.

    Chrome is a lot better now than when it came out. And it's fast. The fastest I think. I am still using Firefox, but may switch over more now.

    chrome keeps things simple. if you just want social networking i.e. facebook or something like 3reef, chrome is that way to go IME

    My computer would shut down the internet pretty regularly when I had IE7. It would say "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem...blah blah blah" and I've only had that happen to me once on Chrome - it's got my vote. Let us know what you think, Chad.
