Actually yes on facebook lots of little pics via my phone, it's fun.
Toad,Eco,TB,Thrud,King as well..
As you can see the Chrome as a much larger photo and better quality as well and quicker too.

Comon in Gunny.

I dropped Firefox for Chrome and I like Chrome but you will not be able to escape using IE. Chrome has a fun start page that caches the recently visited websites visually. You get snap shots of the 6 sites you visit most so doing your rounds is direct.

Well I grabbed it, and the 6 so called snap shots don't fill my needs.

So looking for a way to totally replace FF is not so direct for me.

I use a prog called speed dial. I have 12 tabs and each tab has anywhere from 6 snap shots to 16 per tab.

For casual browsing thats probably fine Gozr but I have to use IE several times a month for very important matters which require input or secure servers or even most employer websites when you fill in data forms. Gaming and such is never going to make a difference for you and you can live without IE. Almost every time I get a code error I restart the page in IE and it works.

I like the look of more snapshots. You are right Toad, 6 is not much is it.

Man, Liam is getting big!  Good to see him WHACK you :)

Since you posted this I added Safari to the IE and Chrome browsers on my desktop.

I really like the multiple windows (for sites) in Safari.....  I'm going to use that more...

Thanks
