Only that there's no addons and you can't customise it like you can with Firefox.

Just the fact that it's boring.

While I have your attention. I had to uninstall Firefox due to the great forum addons causing me to be unable to log into rhp -- heard of that happening before?

No that is quite odd. The addons shouldn't have any effect on logins.

I'd suggest clearing the cookies in all the browsers you use.

Firefox locked up 2 computers on me, what would make it do that?

You're going to have to be a bit more specific there Dorothy.

Didn't work with half the websites I tried when I gave it a test drive a month ago. Very frustrating.

when I would try and access the internet, the entire computer would lock up. I had to power down and restart them. They kept doing it, so i unistalled them.

The best browser I've ever used.

You must get it. Fast, user friendly, no frills.

I already inquired Google Corp if they can install in my head.

I've never heard of Firefox crashing a computer before. I highly doubt that the browser is the problem. Disable "Automatically Restart" on System Failure and see what happens. If you get a BSOD, let me know the code, or look it up on the Microsoft database.
