    Default Browser, what do you use?

    Personally I've used all kinds of browsers but I don't like any of them.

    I only user FireFox but sometimes its just ehh.

    What do you use? or what do you recommend other than FireFox, IE, Safari, Avant, and Google Chrome?

    Firefox 3.5. Yes it's better than 3 they seem to have worked on the memory usage problem.

    Feature available with Vista and up - it can use a Flash drive kinda like RAM.

    The access time on a flash drive is very low (~1ms vs 10-15 for a hdd) so it kinda uses it like a prefetch cache. I have a 4gb patriot xporter XT that I dedicated for this on the desktop. Seems to work.

    Its supposed to "speed up" your system but in reality it reduces application load times significantly but doesn't do much once you have something up and running.

    google chrome.it just has a better appearance than any of the other browsers in my opinion.i've used it all from netscape,opera,safari.IE,etc. and none of them seem to be a s appealing as chrome.HOWEVER,i do use firefox when i am doing a very large download because all the other browsers seem to have problems with large downloads.

    Firefox. I never have seen what the big deal is with browsers. All I need is a gateway to the Net. Doesn't really matter how. I don't care about how cool it looks. Later, QD.
