My kids use it as it is faster than Internet Explorer. it is a browser. You can download it and then choose whether you prefer it or not.I have stuck to this browser as I am an old fangled fuddy duddy who cab'n't be bothered to change.....

I've dabbled with it, see my thread in this section. To be honest, I'm back with Firefox at the moment. Maybe Chrome would be good on a low powered PC but my main machine runs FF just fine!

This plugin might be of interest to Internet Explorer users. (To IE users. Do, please, try a different browser!!!)

Yes, you can. Open a new tab which should give you the speed dial thingy. Then drag the website you want as a bookmark up to the toolbar. There are probably other ways of bookmarking but that seems to be the most obvious.

Getting used to it a bit now, quite like it, does seem faster. Does anyone know if I can add my email icon up on the toolbar somewhere, cant seem to do that, its outlook email. Its a pain keep going elsewhere to look at it!!
