My big issue with Google Chrome – BTW I do not have my Favourites aka Bookmarks- older generation or should I say younger generation included – opened all the time I am browsing & my resoloution is set to 1280×760 now I can afford a larger monitor

Whoops back to the Big Issue with Chrome – I was unable to keep “Favourites” open when I chose – the other issue – text size on some pages – IE7& allows you to set a default size – Chrome – sure you can change when on a particular site but reverts back to their sizing the next time you open

Yes I do have a sight problem but not that BAD – as yet no Labrador

My biggest whinge is these people who set up sites with black backgrounds and white or red text!!!! May look “pretty” but a pain in the neck to read

That is why I like IE7 with Google as my home page – No Frills – Tab Browsing which I love & the options to choose how I see it plus if I want to keep My Favourites open I can

Love Mum
