I've noticed that Chrome seems to be getting slower and Opera seems faster.
Has anyone else noticed this? I noticed it at work yesterday, but I  
haven't tested it at home yet. It may have been a fluke.

I set Chrome as my default browser since it was faster at the time. Now  
I'm considering switching back to Opera as my default browser.

Nope. No mic on that PC. It was a fluke. The whole company's connection  
was slow because of a problem with the fax machine. Maybe the filter is  
not connected correctly. I don't know why people still bother with faxes.  
I suppose no-one uses them in the US anymore.
