Larry - I have been using Firefox, and it has hung me up and slowed me down. Is this google chrome any better?

firefox has been working fine the last week. google chrome is just as fast

charchar--you're always wanting a spellchecker--has on built right in--it show mis-spelled words right in your ds reply box...

think all you guys will love it

Please refer to my journal for an article I placed there from the Vanderbilt Hustler 9-14-08 in reference to Google Chrome

read it, whew, the way you posted I thought it was going to say it was virus laden. Well, it's FASTER on DS than IE7 has been. It's a little faster than Firefox, and 5 months after the Article

Just trying to pass along what my "computer gu-ru" had to say about it. Just being "fair and balanced" here. Of course, allot also depends on your computer and many aspects, like ram, registry cleaning, defragging, and general maintenance as well. You are just the first person I had heard say anything about Chrome since I first heard of it. I get my computer maintenance next week (Spring Break). I personally have fiefox, and have not had any problems with it, yet!

I usually don't get anything when it's brand new, but after having IE7 slow to a crawl I heard from a few others about Google Chrome, when I heard about it earlier today I figured it was TIME!

I wouldn't be in this group otherwise, it was taking forever.

I also use firefox, now I have 2 DS browsers again. IE7 is horrible. I'm not going to use it any more unless I have to.

I run Firefox on my desktop and laptop after numerous issues with IE7, but I'll give this one a shot anyway ... ;)

Call me stubborn, but I'm not going to change. My computer works just fine in all the other sites I go to. It's only on this site I have problems.

Sherry, I miss all of you, but this place has been ruined when it come to my ablility to enjoy it.

oh but you gotta try this, it's GREAT! so simple and easy too

http://www.google.com/chrome

you'll be happy you did.

May I also suggest anyone who has had problems with this place running slow, go to the bottom of the main page to Paul's weekly review thing and leave a comment about it.

DS is a wonderful place, but they don't really read the posts, nor pay much attention to our emails. Maybe if Paul got enough comments all about the same thing it would help.

IMO there is no excuse on their part for this going on so long. It's not an issue with my computer, it works fine on ALL other sites. Why should I be forced to make changes when they are the ones who have caused a problem.

Is it greed, too many ads? I still wonder what my McAfee blocked on this site. This site was trying to download something to my computer.

My thoughts are that one voice on this won't get any attention, it will take many voices to be heard by a group that really doesn't care about the single voice.

If it was Obama vs. Mcain vs. Chrome , I would have voted for chome.

Yes, isn't Chrome awesome?
Gaeryk started a subgroup within MS called MS Micro Soft Evil giving a little help on computers.
Opera is another good browser.
I use Chrome and as you type, where ever, not just in email, it automatically does spell check, etc.
Chrome is fast. It's like going from dial up to DSL if you don't have DSL.
After I got Chrome, it was like going from DSL to cable.
You have to do some tweaks to get it to the way you like it, as with any browser but, it is fast.

what tweaks?

Oh, just as far as your favorites on top of the browser window, etc.. which ones you want, and in which order. I
t even has an incognito window, LOL.
I'm still messing around with it, but it is fast.
If you hold the back button with your left mouse button, it shows all the history. If you open a new browser window it shows all the "windows" you opened in one pane.
Pretty cool.
