1256608 2012-01-31 03:50:00 Switched to Chrome a few years ago from FF. Discovered there are so many extensions that make my browsing and searching so much easier for research purposes.

I mostly use IE9, IE7, Opera and Firefox, and sometimes Safari.

This is Google we're talking about here. Click on the wrench, go to Options, and then search for whatever preference you're trying to change. When you think about it like that, it's incredibly straight-forward and a very "Googl-esk" way of doing it

I tried that once, and the preferences I wanted to change didn't appear to exist.

Same here. But I have so many internet and website search extensions (many which use keyboard shortcuts) and GM user scripts in FF that I use.

1256616 2012-02-01 10:32:00 Another day, another Firefox update. Mine just updated to Version 10. v9.whatever wasn't out that long ago. Hard to keep up. Renegade (16270)

Must mean it's now better than IE (being only ver 9) but not as good as chrome (v16) :thumbs: ... :illogical
