Anyone else using Google Chrome as a web browser? If you haven't tried it then download it and give it a go - very, very good.
For those who do I've found a useful little extension. Try adding the 'Speed dial' extension to Chrome - it allows you to manually set the pages you have on your 'new tab' page. Very handy indeed.

I use it as well as FF not as a replacement. I tend to use FF for work (largely because of the bookmarks) and Chrome for social stuff (Seki, Fb, BBC).
Chrome
Pros - Very very fast. Brilliant with javascript laden pages.
Cons - I'm not keen on the way it organises bookmarks (but this could be because I haven't 'played' enough)
Firefox
Pros - Does everything very well. Huge range of add-ons. Excellent bookmarking.
Cons - Can be a bit of a memory hog if you have lots of tabs open.

Yep - I'm using it now on my new PC. Fairly impressed so far.
