    That is a bug in Chrome 5 beta version download normal version Chrome 4..........

    First tell me which plan are you using???

    1. If it is limited, use Opera, Maxthon.
    2. If unlimited, Then use Flock, Chrome, Safari, Midori.

    But use Internet Explorer when IE9 will be released.
    If you want to use IE, then use Maxthon.

    No way......
    I found Chrome 3 times faster than Firefox.
    My pages of IBF loads in less than 1 sec. in Chrome and even more faster in Maxthon(will use it when Maxthon 3 will be released as alpha version has no options).

    If you are having problem with Chrome switch to Firefox or Opera. Both are excellent browsers. I am using IE 8. It is an OK browser.

    Yes. I am using Chrome. Found it perfectly Ok. But if anyone is having problem, then it is better to switch to other browsers.

    FF will be beneficial because using Ad-block+ and Flash-block+ you will suppress flash ad's that consume some bandwidth. This also prevents annoying pop-ups - ever seen them on rediff.com, timesofindia.com? These flash ad's are very irritating.

    FF takes more time to load the first time but very quick afterwards.

    I use IE8 as well as FF. There are some sites (written in aspx) that work better in IE (not that they don't work in FF; but IE is better for such sites).

    Maxthon has internal flash blocker and ad blocker in it.
    It supports extensions of itself with extensions of IE.
    It use Trident with Webkit engine and much faster in all aspects with Firefox.
