:Thumbs: In order to make creating cross-browser compatible web sites easier, every browser except IE follows the same set of standards (or at least makes the effort). Not Microsoft. It has its own quirks and because it still has over 60 percent of the market, developers have to write standard HTML and Javascript code and also include code to handle Microsoft's non-standard way of displaying web pages. To make matters worse, the development tools that are shipped with IE are big, slow, and buggy.

Thanks to Microsoft's marketing clout, I am not even allowed to install Mozilla's Firebug, which is a great debugging tool, at work, nor can I install Chrome. IE is quickly losing market share and eventually I many companies and agencies who currently only support IE officially are going to spend a fortune making their web sites work right with Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera.

BTW, I also love Chrome. Like you said, it requires little memory, it is fast, and it is reliable. I also like the fact that I can install Firefox and Chrome on a laptop running Linux. The speed difference between Windoze and Ubuntu is amazing. Anybody who has an older computer that they think is too slow to run Windows should give Linux a try before discarding their machine. It requires far less resources and delivers far better performance than Windows.

I can use Chrome, Mozilla, IE, at one time, which all allows me to log onto 3 different ticketmaster accounts so i can get 3 sets of BBM Tickets.
