    Gotta say I like the new Firefox. Interface is good - it's fast and works fine on my computer.

    Just had a toy around with it, damn clean interface, seems to have a pretty small footprint as well. One thing that has impressed me is if a plugin crashes (flash clashes with some software I run on my pc), it recovers, whereas firefox locks up and I need to restart the software.

    When Firefox has an issue it just closes and restarts - recovers itself to all my previous tabs etc. At least thats my experience with it.

    Would still prefer it to leave a smaller footprint but at least it's Internet "bloatware" Explorer.

    imagine if we used that reasoning for everything. i guess we cant say drugs, smoking, etc are bad until we've all tried it for ourselves.

    How can you say something is crap if you have no first hand experience yourself? Define 'crap'!

    On the Google Chrome front I'm not going anywhere near it for a little while, there is a fairly heated discussion going on at the moment regarding copyright.

    It basically goes like this:
    11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services.
    So basically if I were to browse JC using Google Chrome (which I won't) this gives them the right to the site? Not likely!

    From what I have read they have backflipped on this but we shall soon see I guess.

    it will be keeping every site etc. and then there is maps and gmail etc. who knows. they could know alot about you without even trying.

    If I read it correctly. It gives them ownership of your posted information. ie ownership of your post and it's IP. So technically you upload a picture to a site, they own it.

    Bloody weird clause, and I highly doubt it could ever be enforcable in a court of law.

    I was about to plug my hard drive back in and download chrome last night, then I read darrens post, and went against it. If they change their clause I will reconsider using it, as it looks like it has potential. BUT this will be one licence agreement i will bother to read.
