That is because Google made Chrome to where it can't have toolbars and crap, unlike IE and Firefox.

I use Google Chrome, it's the best without a doubt. I never get the "Black screen" that you talked about.

however admittedly i would say it is definately the best browser to play on

True.. true. I have noticed that, and excessive use of it on evony really slows it down, but that's with the others too...

I use firefox on my pc since it seems faster.

I use safari on my mac since I am too lazy to download any other one.

I use Opera and have neither of those problems, BTW.

I downloaded the new Version last night.
Not sure why but my Signature using Opera goes 6X times the speed it looks like. Im sure if I played around with the setting it can be fixed. I downloaded alot of Browsers last night to test them out. Will go back and give them all a longer trial period for better results

It is going faster then I remember. Does it finish the smile in around a half a second?

I am using firefox.

I've yet to find a browser that's actually "hard to use". I don't think IE has anything going in it's favor to be honest.

Chrome has lagged on me before, I think all browsers lag every here and now. I also think that the Bad in your post is an isolated incident for you. I've never had that happen to me personally when using Chrome but I don't really see a problem, just wait an extra second to switch tabs if it is a problem for you.

First bad doesn't deserve a being a con, since it isn't a unique problem to Firefox seeing as there can only be one fastest browser and most every browsers lags from time to time. I have no idea what you said for the second bad though it sounds good whatever way you worded it.

Unique problem to you for the bad, never happened to me. I've found that Safari doesn't run Evony very well. Often running worse than Firefox and Chrome. May be unique to me, may not, I've not polled anyone about it since I never use Safari nor play Evony anymore.

Never used Opera, so I can't comment.

Personally I prefer Firefox if only it's because I've been using it for a while and am too lazy/hardwired to master navigation of the other browsers I've used more than once. (Safari and Chrome)

I use Chrome and it runs perfectly for me, way better than Safari which I used in my "Early Evony" days. No issue with a screen blanking out either when changing tabs, I think that's just you :P
