Knowing 5 was coming, I thought I might as well wait. Now, I'll wait till after the holiday, then start converting the machines.

I've been using Chrome on my desktop PC for about a week now and am finding it very fast and stable.  Additionally, it has quietened things down, my CPU doesn't have to work overtime - it has been doing since Firefox 4.


Seriously thinking of changing to Chrome on my two lappies now.   :)

I hate changing browsers but I'm now very comfortable with Chrome.  I never liked Firefox in any of its incarnations.

You don't say that you don't like changing browsers.

Chrome is slowly becoming mine of choice but slowly is the main word.
