I switched to Chrome some time ago and haven't looked back. I like it a lot better than IE. I also like Picassa for managing pictures. I have them both on my "mini" that only has a 8 gig SSD and Chrome doesn't seem to take up as much space or use up resources. Of course I am a big fan of the Google search engine too. On rare occasions I get the little "crashed computer face" but I opt to wait because it's usually the site lagging, not a browser crash.
