I've been trying to download a PDF from the Sony website for about a week... I couldn't get the model I wanted so I tried others and nothing werked (cussing at Sony website ensued)...

I suddenly thought this morning, "try Firefox and see if that werks, like"

First time!  Banghead

Ipso facto Chrome = shite  cussing:

Techie facto Chrome = Firefox  point:

Chrome is the Firefox browser with a few adaptations BM, mainly with the user interface.

You could always give this one a try, provided your machine can meet the specs..

The difference between Firefox and Chrome is that Firefox werks in all the areas outlined above and Chrome doesn't...

Smartarse!  cussing:

I think it's for those people who were dazzled by the Iphone interface and wanted something similar. Hell of a resource hog for a browser though.

Agreed.

However if you are doing a big search then I can see it being very handy as it opens all the web pages in batches and you can scroll through them.

I imagine it being a bit slow if you have a clockwork internet connection while you are searching though.

Also, if the web pages have sound files on the home page it seems to play them all at once, this results in a godawful cacophany from ones speakers. Or at least it did on my first search attempt.

Worth a look.

Delete that section, recommend it to Nick and then step back and enjoy the show...  whistle:
