I've been posting how I've been dissatisfied about my internet speed (Not downloading but the time it takes to go from 1 site to another with the new sites Page fully up and loaded) as I was expecting more with an i3 Windows 7 8GB Ram, 300 Gig, Core 2 Duo, 2.13 Hz Laptop and fast speed DSL. I've been using Firefox for the last 5 years or so as it was faster than IE for me.
I had tried Chrome a year ago when I had an XP Core 2 Duo 4GB RAM notebook and was not impressed at all as it was slower than Firefox despite the hype. To make a long story short, out of curiosity, I tried Chrome on my Windows 7 Laptop and was amazed how much faster it was than Firefox. I acknowledged that perhaps I may have mucked up Firefox over the years tweaking it and maybe that was why the speed was mediocre. Note my downloading speed was roughly the same speed as Firefox but as I said my actual surfing time going from 1 site to another with the site I went to fully loaded up was significantly faster.
I'm just posting this as an unsolicited endorsement for Chrome on Windows 7 in case someone wants their web surfing faster.
