When I went 64-bit, I only had 2gb and Firefox would kill my computer. So for a brief amount of time I went with Google Chrome. However, Chrome kept messing up my flash applications and certain webpages. So after killing all my Firefox add-ons (minus Ad Block and my tabs add on) I finally got it running so it wasn't such a huge memory hog. Have to say I'm glad to have the fox back.

I personally liked Firefox but then switched to chrome because of the faster speeds. Then I used Firefox for websites others found undesirable. Then I realized there was an incognito option on chrome which solved all my problems.
And then theres internet explorer.. Or maybe not.

I used to use IE...but it started to crash all the time. So I downloaded firefox and it doesn't crash so its awesome, why try another?

IE. I dont need something good or fancy. I just use it to browse. I don't need anything more!

Firefox. Plenty of addons, and I can put it on a USB stick and use it anywhere. IE fills me with disgust.

Wow... firefox has quite the lead. I tried chrome once and didn't like it(seemed slower than firefox).

Currently I use IE. Firefox is alright, but it takes so much longer to boot up than IE. I'm not sure about regular launch time, but I noticed clicking on a link takes longer to get up and running when I was using firefox as my default browser (seriously, a LOT longer. Sometimes I wasn't even sure I clicked the link type of slow).

Haven't tried chrome.

Firefox, because it is so nicely customizable. Of course addons take their toll: the more you have, the more bugs appear. Right now I have >20, which bogs down startup time, but adds a lot of really useful shortcuts, functions, and prettiness. Besides, what's the point of having a fast computer if you never make it do anything? Browsing is probably 70% of the time I spend on my computer, so I think that it's worth making it the best it can be. I could make it minimalist if I wanted that, but I don't. I'd rather have page-load time, bandwidth useage, memory useage, and CPU useage displayed, with my bookmarks and passwords automatically synced with any other computer I use, ads blocked, multilevel tab-bars, image tab scrolling, a download accelerator, easy embedded video downloading, streaming pages, auto URL hyperlinking, easy imdb, google, wikipedia access, and a bookmark and google sensitive address bar.
I don't think any other browser can offer me that, and all things considered the slight unreliability is worth the utility I get from my add ons.

safari is great for battery life and macs, internet explorer is the most compatible with pcs, and the anorexic chrome and opera are the fastest.
