In addition to Chrome, Firefox and Opera, some newer browsers have made their way onto the "market" and I have been testing them, including testing them with USMB.
One is a browser out of Japan called "Sleipnir" (the latest version is 6). It is large because it renders text in a completely different way, but overall, it runs well. The tabbing with Sleipnir is a little klutzy - when you open a link in a new tab, it automatically goes to that tab. But Sleipnir also allows you to organize tabs according to groups, each of which has it's own color. In this way, it's easy to tab in and out between professional and free-time/hobby groups. The description of the norse myth of Sleipnir is also described quite well at the browser's website.
I was running into some problems with Firefox and so I decided to try an offshot browser, also a Mozilla engine, called "Cyberfox", and I find it most outstanding. It runs decidedly faster than Firefox and there is a version for 64 bit. In fact, it runs so well, I deinstalled Firefox from my desktop and laptop systems.
There is also a sleeker version of Chrome out there, a browser made with online security in mind, called "Comodo Dragon". It is blazingly fast and every bit as easy to use as Chrome. The rendering engine for Dragon is indeed "Chromium"
Firefox addons work with Cyberfox, Chrome addons work with Dragon and both Firefox and Chrome addons work with Sleipnir (which is also in mobile form for Android and is really outstanding on the smart-phone).
You can use a search engine to find these browsers and download them according to your system needs and try them out. Just thought to pass this information along. USMB runs well with all of these newer and lesser known browsers, esp. with Dragon. The info site for Dragon explains quite well how it makes your surfing safer and far more anonymous in the interweebz....
And of course, the newest version of Opera is really quite outstanding.
Hope this information helps.
