Can you believe that the Google browser doesn't have the features that Google gives to MS and FF?

If i miss it too much I'll try FF
I never used the translate and spell check buttons in the google toolbar, but with chrome you can just enter a search instead of a url. For example, instead of typing in pelicanparts.com type in porsche 911 parts.

You can also type "translate blah blah blah" into the url/search field and a google translation will come up. I just tried it with a headline from a French newspaper and it worked perfectly.

As for spell check, chrome underlines in red any typos in any field you're typing in, just like firefox or MS Word.

I can't think of a reason in the world to use IE as one's main browser anymore. I do still keep it installed for certain sites that seem to only work on it (or anything from microsoft.com).
