I use SRWare Iron: http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php???
It's basically Google Chrome, except it doesn't have spyware.
Thanks so much for all the ideas.I wonder which one is the most resource hogger?
I'm pretty much gona stay w/ anything linked to Google...since I seen this hour long show about Google on something like MSNBC News or something to that effect,I was shocked at how their MAIN office is run and how Google is doing soooo many smart things...

There is no best. Whatever you like is best. Install a few and make your own decision. The most popular are IE8, Firefox, Opera and Safari. I have all 4 installed on most systems but IE8 is my personal choice.
I LOVE chrome! It fast, light, and very streamlined. There are no stupid toolbars to slow you down, everything you need is right there and all the fancy extras are hidden in drop down menus and buttons. It is very bare basic but its fast and very clean. Firefox is great too but it takes forever to open and it just feels bulky and slows down the computer. I like things very clean and small and not many gagets on it so chrome suits me. Firefox is great for the extra addons and cool stuff you can do with it, but if you just want to surf the internet with no problems, Chrome is the way to go.

So I'm thinking maybe I'll try Google Chrome or....?
But after watching that show about Google,I was amazed! Can't explain it...you'd have to just see it to see what I mean
Thanks for all the help!! ;-}
Do you know that what's the NEXT innovation Google Guys going to integrate into their Browser?
It'll surely be 'Web acceleration' by the means of using 'Compression Technology'.....Remember 'Google Web accelerator'????...That'll be the way forward to step ahead of all future Browser innovations, specially when Google have come with Public DNS>>8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 & have also quoted interest to invest in Multi-million dollars Optic Fiber N/W capable of delivering Internet speeds in the range of Gbps!!
I just didn't know if I could actually download all these browsers without slowing down my computer alot.I have FF and Chrome, in addtion to IE, on my laptop running Vista. Merely having them installed is not going to slow down your system. Of course, if you run multiple browsers at the same time, and let's say you have a lot of sites/tabs open in each browser, you may notice some slowing of your system.
I totally agree with Soybean, having a number of browsers installed on your hard drive will not slow down your system at all. I've been amazed at a few of the posts that recommend deleting unused programs off the hard drive to speed up the machine. Except in some rare extreme cases it doesn't make a difference.
I was very impressed with FireFox. The speed is great and it has many good Ad-ons.
I have always used IE, but I may switch to FireFox. 8)

You can have all kinds of unnecessary junk on your hard drive, and as long as it's not running, it won't slow down your system. Although, if it's junk it's best to get rid of it anyway.
Lunascape Browser (http://www.lunascape.tv/) may be a good browser for the web developer, as it has Trident, Gecko and Webkit all in one software. It's missing out on Opera's engine though.
Web browsers may not consume a lot of hard drive space, but everything you install to your computer all adds up anyway. :P
utter nonsense. When a drive is full, you don't think, "well, golly gee, I better uninstall this 30 MB web browser that I use everyday!", no. In that case it's more likely that games or large data files (music/movies) are going to be scrutinized.
IE9 is in the works. Hopefully it goes better than IE8,
IE9 goes for HTML 5, is HTML 5 going to reduce bandwidth usage in addition to CPU processing power for those adobe flash-required video sites?
We have to admit that FF is becoming 'Bloated' day by day
Probably you r right! (I say so, purely because of your 'BLOATED' reply ;D)!He is right.
Check out various COLD BOOT & WARM BOOT times across all browsers, you'll come to know what Iam exactly talking about! ;)Please see his 'BLOATED' reply ;)
