I use Internet Explorer.

Now I know what you're thinking. "OMFG NUB! ie sux! ff iz da best browsr evah!!!!!11"
Well, I hate FireFox. It crashes on me ALL THE TIME. Also, the default settings on it suck, so to make it worthwhile, I have to screw around with settings for a while while IE's default settings work rather well. IE still crashes now and then, but not nearly as much as FF.

Firefox. Before that i used Internet Explorer. I don't really care about apps and all the crap. I was perfectly fine with IE up till one day it decided it would be funny if it just crashed for no reason. Right now for me IE crashes after 10-15 minutes. Guaranteed.

I only switched to Firefox because its the only other web browser i have heard of.

It does what i need it to do.

I don't like the interface of IE
Firefox, I prefer but for some stupid reason whenever I want to open it it takes 15-20 seconds to open and considering that I often close and reopen browsers this grates a lot
Chrome, I was cautious of using as I had heard rumours of it sending your search history to Google (nothing dodgy here, I'd just prefer people to not know!) but overall it is incredibly fast, both initial loading and general browsing, so I've stuck with it

On my Desktop, Firefox. Chrome is simple, but just a tad bit too simple. Firefox is exactly enough. Chrome might be faster, but honestly, on my desktop, it's nothing noticeable. On my laptop, however...well my Laptop just refuses to run ANYTHING fast. Its very, very temperamental. Chrome makes a noticeable difference.

I use Firefox 3.6. It's fast and multitudes more customizable than Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

I used to use Chrome, but then I found out Google monitors your search history, and then I was like, "dude...."

And then I switched to Firefox 3 and was like, "Dude!"
There is a version of Chrome called SRWare Iron [http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php], which is essentially Chrome without the monitoring by Google. Anyone interested in Chrome should use that version, I highly recommend it. =)

I use all Opera mostly but I also use Firefox, Safari, Internet explorer and Chrome. Seriously.

I don't use most functions on any of them, I am a massive fan of the speed dial thing on Opera though.

I use Firefox but it doesn't make a lot of difference, just pick whatever you like the look of most. That's what I did.

Chrome is most definitely the fastest browser, although not necessarily the best (I use it)
I used Firefox for a while, but it was too slow, and it used about twice as much memory as chrome.

Avoid Internet Explorer altogether, it just stinks.


If you have a monster computer that can play any game at full graphics at over 100 fps, get Firefox

If your computer is modestly, modest, like 2 gigs of ram, and slightly old, get Chrome
