Chrome is definitely the fastest, I have been using it since it started.
The best browser: Chrome - Download it now!

Google Chrome won't let me access this site. It gives a 400 Bad Request only on this site. : ( I'm back to using Internet Explorer which actually seems to be running smoothly for the most part.

Of Course you designed it. ;) I believe that 100%
An additional enhanced level of fever… 
But I like chrome though it rocks!
I still think firefox is way better. Also, Google already has a lot of information about me.
Have been and still am a HUGE fan of FireFox. To me there is no better browser. Especially after you tweak it a bit.

I used chrome for ages, and then suddenly it stopped working on this site!!
I now get 400 bad request!
I have now started using Safari.
t/y for the tip, i'll have to talk to GF about this, she's very computer savy and works with em all day....i'm old school, this "browser" stuff is hard for me to get my hands around
Here is a repost of ZRH:
or you can go to about:config in firefox, search pipe and set the first option (network.http.pipelining) to true and the second (network.http.pipelining.maxrequests) to 20, and voila: firefox now loads many more things at the same time. Have to admit that chrome is better at live chess though. The add-ons are what what keep me with firefox. The space below the address bar is also a great place to keep favorites, a feature that chrome does not have.
Firefox = Audi A8
Chrome = Bugatti Veyron

Do you know the path for that file in Ubuntu? I'm not finding it.
hmm, I was looking in an ubuntu forum, and it seems to work for them too, make sure your are typing about:config in the address bar I guess

Yup. The gouvernment it keeping tabs - pun intended. ;-)
Joking aside, if you have misgivings about that, SRWare Iron is your friend. Google made Chrome's code publicly available and Iron is it whithout the sketchy potentially privacy violating sections of code.

I have used chrome since the day it was out and i have never seen a better browser.
Which is the safest site to download it from? If I Google it, it gives names of other sites to download it from.
don't worry - got it at srware.net
i have been using chrome for a while although i found it crash sometimes on here but if you are premium member it is very quick
The little 'page' icon at top right is the control function - very handy too.
When you click the plus + symbol (as mentioned by artfizz) you get a 'recently closed' bar at the bottom, making it very easy to re-open previous sites you have visited.
Give Chrome a chance - it gets better the more you explore it.
