On my system: Firefox score: 13359. Chrome score: 20861 ... I still use FF most of the time.

I'm using my trusty plain vanilla P4 3.2Gh that I built like 8 years ago! :lol:

Still runs like clockwork...

Bloody hell what a nuisance it was!

Since spelling is not a strong point I quite like it, except that it Americanises everything.

I am using Chrome a bit these days because of the translation feature. Not that the translations are very good....

Maxthon's translation tool works fine... it's that weird "a-->f" icon in the top right.

yes but you either get it in Chinese or they use Google!!
I find Chrome is a just a bit more slick with the translations - otherwise I think Maxthon is a lot better -
