I use whatever suits me at the time. For the moment, I am using Chrome. I came to chrome back when IE, and even Firefox, became bloated, slow, and cumbersome. I maintain several PC's, most of which were around 5 years old, and their speed and memory was a bit limited. Chrome is snappy and fast. IE9 and the newer Firefox are much improved now on speed, but I tend to stick with Chrome for now, because there is no reason to change. I keep IE and FF installed and updated on all computers, so I can use whatever I want. My young son recently got into Opera, and it runs well too. I was a browser junkie for a while, had to have every mainstream browser installed, but now I just use whatever works best for me, for the tasks at hand. I'm not a fanboi or a hater any more.
Firefox has all the free plugins and greasemonkey scripts IE and Chrome don’t, and yes the more plugins you add, the more memory FF uses, and the slower it gets, but the tradeoff is worth it.
Adblocker+ and Downloadhelper are some of the most invaluable.
Question then:
I was using Chrome (and liked it a lot) but I noticed that I could not get the posts here on Free Republic to default to a 12 clock Eastern Time format.
No matter what I tried, it continued to show posts only in Military Time.
When I DL'd the newest Firefox (5.0) and came back here, all was well. So I decided it must be a problem with Chrome.
Was I wrong?
Do you have a solution?
TIA
