Just down loaded Google Chrome,what a difference it makes to ie8.
It is a bit like having twin turbo's.
Ie8 was getting to painfull so i bit the bullet.
Cheers,
Bob.

I use Chrome as
well. My second choice is Safari for windows. The others are way behind I reckon.

In my book Opera is the fastest browser on my 64bit Dual Opteron and also the Opera Mini browser on my Blackberry.
Mind you for this site I use firefox because it has more efficient plugins to remove all the ad rubbish and also the html of this site is not browser neutral and cause overly long pages on opera.
have fun

What Opera version are you using - we are as cross browser as possible and my Opera testing works fine?

Yes you are right there is a bug in 10.0 with the page length - I have reported this to Opera Dev as it is not in the EO code or logic and looks like a clash between a standard script library and the Opera 10 client. I have just fully checked w3c compliance of the sites home page and on Opera it is still showing the extended page length hence reported to Opera Dev. Thanks for the alert.

Good on you for following that up so quickly.
I know the pain to keep it compatible :)),
but I am very happy that I retired 16 years ago
from such troubles and only worry about a few
less engaging things.

My vote is for firefox. Tried Chrome and it didn't impress me enough to change from firefox. Safari is mac stuff, bleh. I like Opera on my mobile.
