Yip. That's why I switched to Google Chrome over a year ago now. Much quicker than IE too.

i would rather take my chances with ie :)


The link to Google chrome flaws is 2 and half years old huggy.

Opera is OK, I just prefer Chrome GUI. IE is slowwwwwwwwww by comparison. Used to use FF but that became slow as well , so moved to Chrome a couple of years ago.
