No i dont use chrome. I used it for 30mins and absolutely hated it. It's far too simple and personally, i think it's a browser for lazy people lol. Opera is what I've been using for the past 9 years and will continue to do so. It is by far the fastest but drawback is it takes a long time to set it up to your taste. --------------------------------- Dmitri aka "the insensitive one" [size=11][i]Maller, restocker Kirsty siggy stealer Second Best wearables shop owner ever![/i][/size]

I know someone said it now has an ad blocker, but modifying your hosts file is a great way to block most ads and other questionable sites. Google "hosts file" and one of the top results will explain it all (not the wiki one). I use Chrome and Opera for my side accounts and for other sites, but only visit user-edited parts of Neo in FF, and even then I log out/log in/change pw afterward. I like Opera, and have been using it for quite a while too, but I don't like how the windows are trapped in the browser, unlike other browsers where you can move a popup anywhere on your screen. I did like that you could just hit refresh to refresh the shop wizard and didn't have to hit OK on the dialog box too (back when I used to snipe =P). Overall it always seemed the fastest to me.

[quote] but I don't like how the windows are trapped in the browser[/quote] here's a nasty trick. grab the tab and drag it to the top of the screen, release and voila :P --------------------------------- Dmitri aka "the insensitive one" [size=11][i]Maller, restocker Kirsty siggy stealer Second Best wearables shop owner ever![/i][/size]

Hmm, I'll have to try that when I get home. It's been a while since I used Opera for my main account so things might have changed I guess.

it's still not like FF though. BUt minor issues like that are worth the gain in speed and the ease of use (if you're used to it) --------------------------------- Dmitri aka "the insensitive one" [size=11][i]Maller, restocker Kirsty siggy stealer Second Best wearables shop owner ever![/i][/size]
