After years of using IE (because that's what gets installed with most computers) and getting more and more frustrated with how slow it seemed to be getting :mad:, I started using Google Chrome around January, then decided to try the web browser Mozilla Firefox (downloaded version 5.0) to see what all the fuss was about that you read posted by fans of MF. After 2 days of use all I can say is it's awesome, and that's from a 'silver surfer'!!!!:D

Everything 'feels' so much crisper and responsive and when I run IE at the same time as MF to search for websites, MF beats IE every time. Not saying Google Chrome is no good, but have to say that from now on it's MF all the way!!!!!

I'm converted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :j
It has taken about 4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) years for the Earth to form as it is now .........
and it'll only take about another 100 years for mankind to really **** it up!!!!

    my preference is 1st Opera and then FF -- but moving from from ie is wise -- more secure for a start.

    If you want to be really clever you can add 'speed dial' into FF

    Its about the best way of organising your bookmarks that I have found

    Seriously dude, that's a bit rad, don't be so condescending,;)
    I've not got enough hair to be classed as a silver surfer. :D
