I've had Google Crome as standard browser.
Yes, its fast and easy to use, but i got some popups asking me to join some "privasy"!!!
I said no, and suddently Crome was gone, so was my links in start and desk to IE and FF. That makes me mad.
I installed the new FF, and to me the speed is comparable with Crome.

Hi!

Many thanks for the replies.  I particularly like that Bing Ordnance Survey thing although Ordnance survey linking up with a big coroporate giant like Microsoft might not be a good thing!  I'm pretty sure OS used to offer their maps for view (albeit in small portions) online on their website.

Anyway I'm still using Bing quite a lot.  I don't find it any better than Google really just not any worse (in most cases) so I just use it.  Plus Google does some things I don't like these days. I installed Google Chrome for my Mum and there are now two "services" installed for Google updaters!!  Seriously why do these companies push updates down our throats even when they're not making any money off them!  If updates were so great why are sites like 'oldverion' and 'oldapps' doing so well!

Rant over (sorry!).

Many thanks,

Pierre

I only use Bing when I need to search something that goes against Google. Then Bing usually offers me better results. Otherwise, I use Google.
