[QUOTE="deadkenny, post: 381450, member: 88839"] Big advantage for me is the speed. It launches incredibly fast compared to Firefox. The tabs and address bar take up very little space and the bookmark bar can be turned off. I'm not sure about fullscreen mode, although there is a feature where you can make a page an "application" as they call it, which gives you a shortcut on the desktop and on launching you get a window with pretty much just the page, made to look like it's a normal windows app rather than a browser. I'm currently using MediaPortal on my Samsung NC10 netbook, hooked up to my HDTV on occasion (at 1920x1080). It's working out an excellent little media player (on an Atom processor!) and can do up to 720p files. Being a netbook I try to keep installations to a minimum and haven't even bothered with Firefox as Chrome is better for a netbook (speed and the larger page area which is important on a 600 pixel height display!). Things like BBC iPlayer work fine in Chrome and I think last time I tried it will play the HQ streams fine too. Hence my interest in integrating into MediaPortal :D [/QUOTE]
