I’ve switched over to Google’s Chrome following what I’m sure was unbiased guidance from our friend who works for/at Google. It’s not even been a full day and I’m very happy with the change! I liked my Firefox alright, but lately it began doing the undoable and freezing on me in mid-browsing. It didn’t actually crash, just took time off for about 10 seconds at a time providing me with a “not responding” message in the top window bar. Ten seconds is eternity in browsing time, so something had to be done.
Fortunately, over the BBQ grill, as I was laying the marinated zuchini slices and our friend, the carnivore, was laying the hot dogs, we got to talking abotu browsers and he reminded me of that new Google browser I had neglected to try. So, first thing this morning, I downloaded and installed Chrome – very fast and easy install – and imported everything from Firefox into it. So far, knock on wood and spit three times, everything is working just fine. Some nice features too, so Chrome gets the thumbs up from me.
It’s a very techie couple of days all in all, in between getting myself acquainted with Twitter (hey, I’m a late bloomer, sue me) and finally upgrading our connection to 4MB (from 2). Not a painless upgrade either, as I’ve had the router crash the connection at least five times today already.
Ahhh, just had to do some typing and go beyond 140 characters – it feels sooooo gooood!

OK, Miss Smarty Pants, so I took you up on your advice.
Wow……….it is faster and cooler so far – all the way around. Once again, you are my Internet Heroine. Honestly, this is really quite interesting a change. Thanks!
