A few days ago my computer went bust and when I borrowed this laptop off a friend it had firefox already installed on it.
I have just this minute downloaded and installed google chrome and IT ROCKS!!!
If you have not got it yet I strongly recommend it!!
Not yet tried it in live chess but these pages are loading so fast that if you blink you miss it!!!
Nice one Erik this site ROCKS!!!
Really it isn't the software but it's your GPU, your CPU, your OS, or your Internet. All of you have your heads in your sand if you don't consider the details. Erik probably has a T1 Internet connection after all.
Sure, each PC is set up differently, some with faster processors, faster download speeds etc... but surely the point is that Chrome is generally faster on any system, regardless, certainly when compared with Firefox, IE7, etc... this is my experience anyway.

how fast does it load a hundred pages at once?
anyhow it's your download speed that matters. The software matters very little, and Chrome loads pages like Chess.com's Live Chess slower because it isn't designed for those applications.
and Firefox is the browser that uses all the bandwidth.
Opera is pretty nice too
Tried it - not too bad.
Chrome certainly impresses with its speed, but I'm happier with Firefox as an overall browsing experience right now.
Chrome still feels under-developed to me, and I have some basic problems with it. For example, Chess.com email doesn't work in Chrome (as Dozy pointed out earlier in this thread), and I can't get it to open pgn files automatically using a pgn reader program (actually I can't see a way to associate ANY file types with a program; instead you have to download them first).
These are dealbreakers for me at the moment, but it's great to see such competition in the browser market.
LOVE chrome!
