I tried chrome ages ago and went back to IE.....

Still have chrome on Heather's pc but IE 11 is the default one.

I love chrome.

I'm using it, not real impressed, however tried all the others and it's no worse, does do a good job of translating however.

I love chrome, especially when you sign in with your Google Account and use multiple PCs. My bookmarks from my PC are available on my android phone and vice vesa. As are my laptop and media PC.

This is the biggest plus

Good find Biggles. Quite a few useful ones there. I'm a Chrome fan and use it almost exclusively.

On an iPad it does crash a lot tho, even after regular updates (probabubbly coz I have over 50 active tabs at a time).

  
The 'Restore' box does the trick every time, so no harm done.

Occasionally I use IE when I suspect there may be an issue with a web sites programming that Chrome is mishandling. All other times I use chrome because its faster, I love the "reopen previous tab" feature and the save current layout or startup with preferred layout features.

A couple of tricks the article didn't mention and they are:

Ctrl+H bings up a new tab with your history in it

Ctrl+J opens a new tab with your downloads in it

Ctrl+Shift+N opens an ingognito browsing window

With you bookmarks it will display the websites icon. If the icon is uniquely recogniseable i.e. ABC you can edit the bookmarks on you bookmark toolbar and delete the name. This gets you a lot more bookmarks across the Toolbar.

Have fun.

Also if you double left click on a word or right click and drag of a couple of words and highlight them on a page, then right click on the highlighted are, one of the options is to search in your default search engine.
