Seeing they just release version 6, I thought I'll take it for a spin. So far, it feels a lot faster than FF 3.6.

Is the speed really that significant? Given the speed of modern processors vs the speed of modern networks, does it make a difference? I've just posted a reply to DD's message about his network problems, and the CP web server took best part of 15 seconds to accept it. It always seems to me that when dealing with internet-based web servers, network speed and latency, and web server performance, are the limiting factors, not rendering speed. For a corprorate intranet, with a litte-used web server on a 10GB backbone, I can see it might make a difference. As an aside (and this isn't "browser bashing", just my view as a software developer), this page makes me chuckle: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en-GB/more/features.html[^] It says: "Chrome is built for stability. If an individual tab freezes or crashes, the other tabs are unaffected." Err, no. If it was really built for stability, it wouldn't crash or freeze in the first place.

I have ditched FF and never looked back again. Even the latest Opera seems much faster than FF :( Primary Browsers as of lately in descending orders Chrome Opera IE FF

` Wasn't there always the option to start IE windows as a separate process? I'm pretty sure there was, and I know I enabled it from the first moment that I was aware of it.

It's not always the browser's fault for crashing. Any plugin (i.e. Flash) might be the reason.

No idea. As I said, I'm not "browser bashing", or saying one is better than another.
