I've also just tried it, and it crashed!   :dunno:

I guess it's similar to what Avant is to IE.  I suppose it could also be argued that non-mainstream browsers are less likely to be targeted.

Shhhhhhhh....

I've just downloaded Comodo Dragon and it certainly handles video much faster than FF.  It's a pity there doesn't seem to be an easy way to access more than eight bookmarks, though.

Thanks Dave - I'm still getting used to the browser but I like it a lot :) .  I wish it had the Firefox spell check add-on, though.  I know there are a couple of Chrome checkers available, but they're not as good as the FF checkers.

the Dragon and chrome still have some catching up to do in some areas and extensions is one of them

But in other areas they are much better than most browsers

They are probably the same now, as the other browsers were, before becoming bloated with all the extensions.  ;)

I tend to avoid the extension, don't see the need / point in them. The only things I need are the media plugins, e.g. flash.

Chrome doesnt use extensions the same as firefox they open as a separate program

If you open Task manager you can see them and control the ones that are resource intensive

being a linux person, I don't use the task manager, but you can easily profile what your system is doing using the command top - indeed Chromium forks all the processes it runs, so they run separately - on linux it also nicely sets their priority for you, quite low too.
