I change it a LOT, and it's usually a little tidier than this, but oh well. Here's how it looks right now.

Also, not to be a techsnob but I want to bitch-slap all of you that are using Internet Explorer. For the love of the internet, PLEASE go to http://google.com/chrome , download it and start using it. You'll be able to import your bookmarks etc upon installation so there's really no reason not to.

It'll blow your mind biggrin

And the reason we should all be using Chrome as opposed to Firefox is....?

A) because it's the best browser

B) because it's the best browser

C) because it's the fastest browser

D) because it's the most secure browser

E) because it's the best browser

F) because it has the best range of extensions

G) because they release a major version every 6 weeks and it auto-updates itself, so you're always up to speed with the latest functionality and security patches

H) because it's the best browser

I) because the reason Firefox used to be awesome is because Google was one of the biggest contributors to working on it. When Google stopped doing that when they released Chrome, Chrome was pissing all over Firefox within weeks in terms of speed, security, etc.

J) Because you can have separate profiles with different settings, and instantly sync all those profiles across different computers.

K) Because it has an awesome "incognito mode" which you get to by pressing Ctrl-Shift-N and when you're in that mode NOTHING from your sessions gets saved, cached or logged. It's unofficial known as "porn mode" LOL.

L) Because if you have any amount of tech knowledge you can opt to use the "beta" or "dev" versions of Chrome which get updated even faster than the stable release and you're even more ahead of the curve. Of course, you risk problems, but in over a year of using the beta and a few months of using the dev, I've encountered problems exactly twice, that I fixed within about 10 minutes each time.

M) Because you can type "about:flags" into your URL bar to enable super-awesome experimental features that kick major ass.

O) Did I mention it's the best browser?

biggrin

Besides it being fast, I love how playing videos are less complicated. Maybe I'll download it again and use it full time. lol

Is it really THAT much faster than FF? The only so-called "lag" I get in FF is chalked up to the speed of my internet - which is unfortunately Clear, the wi-max ISP - not the browser. Yeah, I know, I know; it's the fastest internet service available in my apartment. I could get cable internet, though, but I can't get it. It's a long story.

Aww, well to answer your question: YES it's MUCH faster than FF. Thing is when you install FF, it's only 31 MB to install. With Chrome, last I checked it was over 70 MB and you don't have the option to install it in different hard drives. I wanted to install it on D but it seems like you can only install it on the C drive and I need that drive to have more free space since C drive is a FAT32 formatted hard drive while D is only an NTFS drive.

These modes (including privbate browsing) were definately invented by a man! in the advert for W7 when it first came out they had a man buying presents for his wife and she came in he turned it off and she was none of the wiser, that is so not what it's used for! LOL

I think everyone I know, thinks I'm just that clueless and will have them installing something that will give their comp a virus lol . But yeah, I don't see how they're still using IE. Once in a very very rare while I'll open it and use it - why I don't know, but every time it's sheer hell lmao.

It'll be funny if they think that since, you know, Internet Explorer is likely to have more viruses than the other browsers. evillol
