The rest of the major browsers seem to struggle on Javascript type pages and or comment boxes. Firefox works fine in both cases. It also seems to work a bit better on Flash based sites.
Basically unless the sites you go to aren't flash or javascript related and you don't need to comment a lot, then Firefox is the best choice.
I don't care about speed on text based pages, I care about speed on real world sites and Chrome, Opera as well as IE9 fail.
But Katherine it is mind boggling how you still have a job after recommending ClamAV to Windows users. Do you want Windows users to get viruses? Because ClamAV has no real-time protection. Hopefully at the very least they told you to only recommend security products to Linux users after that mess. But it's not only this site where there are incompetent editors. saw an editor at PCMag recommend a iOS lose weight app that recommends a daily calorie count that is dangerously low over the provely effective Lose It app.
Now I may not be as tech savy as most editors on this site but I can assure you I'm the most knowledgeable when it comes to Windows Software as I try out like 100-200 new products each year on my own computer might I add.
PC World's main mistake is they let tech savy people recommend stuff not really suited for their field of expertise. Just because you know the best hardware for a computer and how to build one doesn't mean you also know the best software as well. ClamAV recommendation to Windows users is proof of a tech savy person having no business recommending software. Please stick to your field of expertise.

Begging your pardon? Google Chrome is the only browser that I use and trust daily. It performs superbly, no matter if I am playing a flash-based game or writing on a comment form. Perhaps your choice of selection in the Chrome flavors is a bit simple. Stick with the stable version if you want a browser that performs consistently. Beta is a little more adventuress, and Canary is a developer's edition.

Its improper for readers to comment about the jobs of tech writers. Its one thing pointing out a mistake but it entirely another thing to take the comments to a personal level.
For example you should have just mentioned the stuff you said in your last paragraph.

I ran into website rendering problems back in the first few versions of Chrome, but haven't run into a single website that renders improperly or poorly in Chrome in the later versions. Not sure which websites you're talking about or which version of Chrome, but it sounds like you're behind the times.

I would like to see the sites you are having trouble with on chrome... as I haven't run into any. I build websites for a living and I never had an issue with javascript in chrome either... and I build full ajax / javascript, xhtml, html5 driven websites.
As far as antivirus goes... I would recommend AVG over clam on windows... but if you are really smart, I would just switch to Linux and save you the hassle of having antivirus at all..
Linux isn't that difficult to learn, if you are just browsing the web use linux but if you want to play PC games... then just setup dual boot.
