Yes, I still use IE9 -- as well as Firefox (please note: the following issues does not happen with Firefox) -- but over the last 1yr, everytime I try and go to another URL with IE9, I get a popup telling me the page is busy or some such thing, and I just reinstalled Win7 yesterday as I haven't done that since I first bought it late last year, and it's happening on a clean install as well.

So, I am not sure what is causing the above problem, even on a clean install.

So, my question is this, what is the best Chromium-based browser out there?

I don't know if it's the 'best' but I've been giving Software Iron a go the last month and it's pretty good. Chrome without the 'google'.

Chrome addons work with it as well.

I've been using CoolNovo, which has additional features built-in, such as keeping the browser open even if the last tab is closed, mouse gestures and keystrokes, etc.

I had problems with other browsers, such as embedded videos not appearing, BSOD, some extensions no longer working, etc.
