I've had a go on Chrome, it was faster than IE, and about the same as FF.
Nice clean look with some nice little touches. I've read though that it is using software similar to PHORM so I've stopped using it until that is clarified.

Don't you read the news ;) BadPhorm - When good ISPs go bad!: Welcome It basically tracks your web browsing and delivers targeted advertising based on what you are interested in. Folk are up in arms as this breaches privacy laws. BT, Virgin & Talk Talk were going to integrate it without telling its customers but someone got wind of it and it hit the news. People are saying customers should be asked if they want to sign up to it rather than them just implementing it.

I don't even touch IE anymore, been using firefox for 2 years now. If I go to a clients house and give their computer a health check I install Firefox on there for them as well.

I've been using Internet Explorer since about 1996 when it was shipped with Windows 95, as version 4
I've been quite happy with it's over all performance, until version 7 As a result I went back to version 6 I waited a further few months, reinstalled version 7 and although RC1 was more stable I encountered other issues As a result I have no intention of upgrading to version 8 on this machine running Windows XP However, the laptop I have with Vista works fine with both version 7 and 8 of IE

I'd definitely recommend either Firefox or Google Chrome :).
Much quicker, and generally nicer. I take it you've heard this many times though.

I already have both on my computer
I can't see any difference in performance between all three However, I do notice a difference between two identical machines at work One has Windows XP and IE7, the other has Red Hat Linux and FireFox, and everyone avoids the Linux machine as it is dreadfully slow!
