Has HubPages optimised for Chrome?
I've just been looking at Google Analytics and noticed that while load times in Internet Explorer and Firefox are OK (i.e. slow but acceptable) the load time in Chrome is nearly ten times longer
This is rather worrying given the number of people who now use Chrome and the fact that if a website doesn't load fast:
1) Google downgrades it
2) people stop trying to reach it
Do other people have the same experience re browsers? (see GA Site Speed Page Timings under 'Behaviour')
[NOTE: My browser analysis for another site with a LOT of traffic tells me that Chrome is now the most popular browser with a third of all users. The next most popular are Safari and Firefoc and Internet Explorer is now down around 10% of all users]
The website is not optimised by definition if it's loading 10 times slower in Chrome
Whether something has changed in Chrome that requires an adjustment in HubPages or whether it's just a glitch I don't know - but it certainly seemed to me to be something that needed looking at.

Is Google Chrome, or Firefox, better than Internet Explorer?I'm wondering if I'm going to run into problems with these. Has anyone compared these search engines? Which is the best one to use with Windows 7 ?

For the last several days if I wish to share a good hub from a HP author with my followers, it won't do it for some reason. Is anyone else having this problem?

Does anyone has this problem? I try to post two articles and in both cases google chrome will kill hubpages. I needed to try more than 10 times just to get it to post a photograph from my computer. I am wondering if anyone knows why this happens with hubpages.

Which web browser are you using?I asked this question to figure out two things. How many people still use an older version of Internet explorer and which browser is mostly used by hubbers.

Just curious what browser do you use?I have been using Internet Explorer and just recently have had problems with it. I did a virus scan, a spyware scan, and nothing seemed to work. I could only use IE in add ons disabled mode. At sometime I had downloaded google chrome. Tried it today and it...
