It's hard to tell, currently my Win7 desktop runs Chrome, but I have few gripes with it and I could end up to back off to Firefox in the future.

But, on my Win7 TabletPC, I need a touch compatible browser, and I won't take Chrome with a buggy extension when Firefox 4 fully support native touch out of the box.

For what it worth mentioning, on my iPhone, I use iCab Mobile plus a JB tweak to change the default browser.

Safari on iOS and Mac OS X, IE 9 on Windows 7 SP1, and Chrome in Linux Mint 9; Chrome is my secondary on all platforms except iOS and Linux (Firefox as secondary on Linux). I like chrome probably the most and dabble with it a lot on all supported platforms regularly; I think it's my favorite. However, I rely heavily on the tight integration of native browsers to their corresponding platform, with Chrome on Linux being the exception.

Chrome on Windows 7 x64..

Have been very happy with Windows 7 since it launched, and Chrome was a breath of fresh air after a good few years with Firefox. Got fed up of Firefox's ridiculous memory consumption whenever I left browser sessions open for weeks on end without reboots. Chrome takes care of that and gave me a speed boost to boot so.. double win.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies
    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
