The best Browser

I'm with Google Chrome now and loving the instant spell checker on
every word written.
John Cawston
All good enough. I like Firefox because it seems to be more secure than
Explorer and has thousands of Add-ons.

Not sure where you heard that. IE is currently the most secure browser
- I think Firefox near topped the list for the *least* secure a little
while back - Google Chrome beat it (which is what I usually use). :)

IE 8 - also has best favourites/bookmarks system That's what lets chrome

Why do you need a spell checker for a browser?

Microsoft-sponsored means independent?
Internet Explorer has had 97 reports of vulnerabilities discovered in
the public without a patch. 21 were marked as moderately critical, 17
were marked as highly critical, and 12 were marked as extremely
critical.
Firefox has had 42 reports of vulnerabilities discovered in the public
without a patch. 11 were marked as moderately critical, 7 were marked
as highly critical, and 0 were marked as extremely critical.
Safari has had 4 reports of vulnerabilities discovered in the public
without a patch. 0 were marked as moderately critical, 2 were marked
as highly critical, and 0 were marked as extremely critical.
Opera has had 31 reports of vulnerabilities discovered in the public
without a patch. 10 were marked as moderately critical, 3 were marked
as highly critical, and 1 was marked as extremely critical.

I actually like Chrome's bookmark system. It's simple. The whole
browser is simple and uncluttered as a result. I hope the IE9 beta is a
reasonable reflection of what IE9 will be - as it's almost identical in
it's uncluttered look.

Unfortunately those tests are (admitted by the site) quite meaningless
as they include old versions of IE!

Is it automatic or do you have to ask it to because that makes a

Why would you say that a Microsoft sponsored report is independent?

I hope you used a glove when you pulled that factoid out of your arse.
First, the site doesn't say that the tests are meaningless, and second
the tests are not meaningless becuase (as at June 2010) IE 6 still had
a 17% market share.
Here's a more recent vulnerability list:
1. Chrome - 76
2. Safari - 60
3. Microsoft Office - 57
4. Adobe Acrobat -- 54
5. Mozilla Firefox -- 51
6. Sun JDK -- 36
7. Adobe Shockwave Player -- 35
8. Microsoft Internet Explorer -- 32
9. RealNetworks RealPlayer -- 14
10. Apple Webkit -- 9
11. Adobe Flash Player -- 8
12. Apple Quicktime and the Opera Web browser (tied) -- 6

I like Firefox, but find it quite slow to start up. I mostly use Chrome
at home and like it a lot (but I do have Firefox and IE8 installed
because they're useful occasionally).

I use Chroma as well, have always hated IE as it does not look good nor
easy to get around, too many bells and whistles, Chrome is clean, sheek and
looks good, and very easy to use.

the back-arrow not working.
I have four computers round the house -
1. A laptop running Windows 7 professional. This only ever connects
to the Internet using IE to file GST returns.
2. This PC running XP which is the one that I use for all other
Internet connections (and not much else).
3. My old pet Vax running version 7.something of VMS. I think it
still has Lynx and Mosaic and possibly Netscape on it, but it is for
writing and I never connect it to the Internet.
4. The fun machine - my old 8-bit computer from the 80s running CP/M
