    Nope, Links

    Just kidding I use Chrome on Windows 7. Links is handy when stranded on a non X unix machine provided is is installed and the network is up.

      Having recently had a security purge across the company I no longer have admin rights on my machine and thereore can't upgrade!! , so most of the time I use Firefox.
      I thought Google specifically made Chrome not require admin rights to install?

        There's also Links, which does tables a bit better.

          Thanks to the EU, I don't even have IE installed on my (Windows 7) laptop. The initial set up process invited me to choose a browser to install, so I chose Chrome, and never installed IE.

          Current client are still on IE6 but I don't use their machines.

            Chrome here on my MacBook Pro and Window's 7 machine, only niggle I have is that its not syncing between the two, but other than that I am very impressed with it

              What do you mean by syncing? Do you need something like this: Xmarks | Bookmark Sync and Search

                Chrome has a built in syncing feature that syncs your bookmarks, plugins, themes, auto fill, passwords, cookies etc. all you need is a google account. Xmarks can't really compare.

                  Interesting.

                  I have been using Chrome for a couple of years now, maybe it is time for me to do another browser comparison test.

                  Having said that, I like Chrome so probably wont bother.

                    Really? As I sit here using firefox, synced with bookmarks from my chrome installation on the laptop?
