When was the last time you did a clean installation?

FF loaded it fast, Chrome didn't load it completely at all..I got sick of waiting and closed it! My work system has nowhere near the specs as my home rig but still...
Perhaps your workplace has some restrictions, which limit chrome. Have you tested both side by side at home?

I've got cable hookup, so you could be right. Have you ever tried running IE without ActiveX enabled?

No, I haven't. I don't use IE except for MS sites and even then, I usually use FF with IE Tab. Back when I was living in the boondocks (five years ago) neither cable nor ADSL were available. All I had was dialup. I switched to FF because IE was so slow to render pages. Since then, I have used FF. Now that I have ADSL, the speed issue is not as important; but even with ADSL, FF, Chrome, and Opera are much faster at rendering most pages than IE8. And this new browser, Lunascape, is even faster. It is a pretty cool browser. Kari turned me on to it.

Yeah, me too. I downloaded it yesterday. However, I'm just going to use it when I need to check my JavaScript codes for browser compatibility. I love my IE8. The only time I didn't care for IE was when popups first started coming out [God I feel old]. IE would get uncontrolable popups, and open up more windows than you could close. But they fixed that shortly afterward. I guess I'm the only die-hard IE guy around. I never cared for Firefox, I think it looks like a kiddy browser.

Lunascape looks very practical, but is not the way forward. In an ideal world browsers should adhere to web standards...
