Stevehudson Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 You might as well just use Google Chrome 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 I use Firefox 99.9% of the time and IE8 the rest of the time.I won't use Google Chrome until it has an ad-blocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/6232744/IE8-browser-runs-faster-with-Google-Chrome-plug-in.html[/quote]I have done it and it doesn't work![:)]Well let me qualify that; OK using the cf: meta tag I can get 100% on Acid3 compared to IE8 20% .But not a lot out there that needs HTML 5 or Javascript 8, so a bit curious where the 10x comes from on which sites.As the Google Frame is Beta I am reluctant to change the Windows Register as outlined below from the Google Developer site. To make your pages work with Google Chrome Frame, you should use the method of inserting a meta tag, as described earlier. There are other ways of invoking Google Chrome Frame. These techniques are useful for testing and are not guaranteed to work in future versions. Google Chrome Frame provides a fast testing and prototyping shortcut that's especially useful when you can't modify the page you want to test. To use this method, just navigate to the URL prepended with "cf:". Note that this prefix is in addition to any other URL scheme. For example, to see Gmail in Google Chrome Frame, go to Internet Explorer and navigate to: cf:http://gmail.comYou must use both the cf: and http: prefixes. You can also use the Windows Registry to force a URL to be loaded in Google Chrome Frame. Note that the URLs are registry values (and not sub-keys): HKCU Software Google ChromeFrame OptInUrls *google.com* [string value name is the pattern to match, assigned value is not used] *yahoo.com/mail* [use simple pattern, no regexp matching] * ['*' means load everything!]Note: forcing websites into Google Chrome Frame with these techniques may lead to unexpected behavior. Google Chrome Frame will fetch URLs using the host browser's network stack, so the web site will send content intended for the host browser. That may not always work well if rendered in Google Chrome Frame. By default, Google Chrome Frame uses Internet Explorer's network stack to fetch url requests. This ensures the user sees only one view of cookies, history, SSL state, and so on. To turn this off, add a 'DWORD' value 'UseChromeNetworking = 0' under HKCU\Software\Google\ChromeFrame. Google Chrome Frame sends all top level navigation to Internet Explorer. This is to allow content to load other links in the host browser. This feature can be turned off by adding a DWORD value 'HandleTopLevelRequests = 0' under HKCU\Software\Google\ChromeFrame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I find the latest version of Opera (Opera10) the fastest, but if you want a fast version of Firefox (with the disadvantage that not all the add ons are compatible yet) you could try the pre-release version 3.6a2pre, also known as Namoroka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Got Opera 10 as reserve browser on two PCs.More correctly I got Opera 10 10 which is the current Opera 10 Version together with the Beta Opera Unite option.The latest Beta Unite 1779.Only the Unite bit that changes.

pachapapa Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Now on Ver 1799.Available athttp://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Opera-for-Windows/945720329/1The Beta News site always seems to their first...often before the software home site.[:)]As a Browser I like it but my main interest is the server option that still has bugs in the Unite option.On my XP Netbook it works a dream but on my Vista machine it is still finickety; they'll fix it.

sid Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I've downloaded Chrome 3 and like the look and feel (and speed) but the Sibleius Scorch plug-in that I use is not available (yet??).Back to IE8 for me then! Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I personally use Opera as I like its interface the best.However, not all websites are Opera friendly (facebook for example), so have to revert to Firefox in reserve.
