yes sure google Chrome is the best browser, when i first downloaded it, my internet was running at a lighting speed, i even checked my speed http://www.ip-details.com/internet-speed-test/
and it was normal too, hitherto i used firefox which chocked my browsing capabilities .
But the only one advantage with firefox is that it has more add ons, which makes things much easier
In terms of speed, from fastest to slowest it would be Chrome, Safari, Opera, Firefox, IE 8. I use newer Firefox, and like it but never enjoyed 2.0 on any OS.
