I might disagree with the FireFox one, but that's only because I disabled most of the add-ons with mine.

That's what I don't get about the comment, you don't need to install them to run it, and if you've disabled all yours, that's because you installed what you didn't need. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Sony Vaio FZ21Z OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 ®™ CPU Intel Core 2 Duo (2.2 GHz) Motherboard Sony (Intel Chipset) Memory 2x 2GB Corsair (667 MHz) Graphics Card NVIDIA 8600M GS (256MB) Sound Card Sigmatel Monitor(s) Displays 15.4" TFT X-Black Screen Resolution 1280x800 Mouse Logitech Anywhere MX Hard Drives Western Digital 300GB Scorpio Black (7200rpm) Internet Speed Sky 5MB |

Chrome has fun faster in some tests, but being here in the bandwidth poor U. S., I doubt that it makes a big difference.
I remember testing "@Home" cable network when they first came out. We were about 3 miles from the headend, and got a rock solid 10M down and up. You could easily see who was running their sites off T-1s, fractional T-1, or T-3s. There's still a lot of that going around in the States - due in part to density (a lot less than S. Korea) and in part to the provider's lack of foresight.
I'm paying through the nose for 6M down and 768K up (more like 5.13 down and 650K up after the overhead, etc.) and am happy for it.
Random factoid - AOL still has a load of dial-up (56K) users. Think they can see a difference? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Gateway, Toshiba Laptop, and Home Brew OS Windows 7 x64 HP, Windows 7 HP, Windows 7 Ult CPU Intel I3, Cerelon, Pentium 4 @ 3Ghz Motherboard Intel, Intel, Asus Memory 8G, 3G, 3G Graphics Card On-board Intel, On-board nVidia, nVIDIA card Sound Card on-board, on-board, SoundBlaster Monitor(s) Displays Hannspree HF237, Toshiba, SyncMaster 931B Screen Resolution default (all) Keyboard standard wired (all) Mouse standard wired (all) PSU 300w, unk, 650w Case black, black, grey Cooling air (all) Hard Drives 1T internal, 320G internal, 160G internal, 1T networked Internet Speed 6M down, 768K up Other Info Home LAN through Linksys hub to 4 port and wireless switch/router.
