  1. I use Chrome almost exclusively now, unless there is something that will not display then I revert back to Firefox. Do miss my Google toolbar though!

  2. Not suprising that firefox is losing to IE. I was actually thinking that Firefox will be the biggest loser. I tested Crome and it look dosent looked finished, obviously there is much more to come.
