as their browser?

I put it on yesterday to give it a trial and when I post here and want to put a link to another page all I did was right click the page address select Copy then come back in here and paste the link and it is there without having to put in the tags at the front and rear of the address.

Hmmmm this Clone browser looks great

Been using it for a while on my XP desktop when firefox wasn't fully loading pages on some websites. It's pretty good I find too, fast and simple.

 I find it much faster than FF, I also had problems with FF over that past few days.

Yes Wombat have been using for a while also on my Laptop with Windows 7. Really like the way you can design the page to suit your own needs. Have Safari on my ipad. Cheers Glenda

Tried Crome for the second time in the last year a few weeks ago. I agree it's a bit faster & I do like it but I'm not ready to change yet. Unluckily it's still missing a couple of extra add-ons that I always have running on Firefox & I'm not mad on their bookmarks menu choices.  I also found 3 sites in the 2 weeks I had it on that still wouldn't accept using Crome so I had to enter them with Firefox.

Maybe in another 6mths I'll be ready to change.

Cheers

Jon
