Maybe I'm just outdated but my single core machine will still be serving my needs for a few years to come barring any unexpected upgrades (eg: hardware failure forcing me to build a new rig).

IMPORTANT...

The first beta of Chrome that has been released to the public is NOT recognized yet by the vBulletin editor so while it might be fun to play with to see what it can do, you will be very unhappy it using it at your favorite vBulletin based sites.

I'm sure the Jelsoft guys will come up with a solution soon but in the mean time... stick with FireFox.

Pull back the covers of Chrome and revealed to you will be... WebKit, the same foundation as Apple's Safari browser.

Which means that Safari's old security issues (gasp! An Apple product with security issues?! Say it ain't so!) are also present in the current Chome Beta.

I browse with Firefox but I'm not quite brave enough to make the jump from Windows to Linux yet, but..... if I get many more slowdowns AAAAAH! It won't be long.

I use Runecats Explorer myself, I find it to be very stable.

I find the gecko rendering engine to be slow and inconsistant, and therefore I don't like FF, and that's not to mention the countless problems I have had with FF.

In my eyes it's got to be Runecats or Safari.
