Google chrome
Just d/l'd this - it's super fast but I still cant get the adobe flash player that lets me watch youtube so back to IE for that. I had the same problem with Firefox then it eventually went whacky (this term should indicate my level (depth) of techno-savvy) so I uninstalled it.

Any thoughts on Google chrome?

thanks

I tried it and didn't really like it
One to keep an eye on though, will no doubt get better.

Back to IE? Shame on you...

I like it
Am posting this from it.

Er... The "incognito" function is pretty good for when I'm at work.
And I don't watch stuff often on youtube, but when I do, it seems to work.

I tried Firefox - I liked it
but IE is easy for non-techno-savvy types (like me) - any thoughts on the adobe flash player issue?

thanks!

The version of Flash for Firefox is different
So even if you've installed it in IE, you need to go to www.adobe.com with Firefox and install it from there...

It won't install through the plugin manager thing, you need to do it manually. Works fine for me.

Isnt there something in the terms and conditions...
.. that says that anything you upload to anywhere with google chrome gives Google the rights to that content?
I find that kinda worrying.

Install Firefox
Then, using Firefox (important step!) browse to www.adobe.com

There is a link on the front page that says Install Flash Player

Edit: It actually says Get Adobe Flash Player, for the pedants out there.
