I'm one of those "Pesky" Mac users, only I'm sticking with my trusty foxy for browses.
It's user friendlier and more custom shit.

Indeed, I am using Chrome my good man, though only because anything heavier gives my poor little netbook a fit. Tends to be a mix between IE/Chrome/Opera on the chunky family computer.
Firefox is an amazing browser for all computers, chrome only works well on higher end systems because the way the processes are handled are ridiculously stupid and use "less" memory but if you're like me and have between 5 and 10 tabs open FireFox is still the top dog.
I dig Chrome. I made the switch when a major crash prevented me from watching youtube on firefox at all (seriously, reinstalling flash, reinstalling firefox, changing graphics drivers) ever again.
I just kinda wish Chrome would quit hoggin up all this RAM.

I've used every browser there, except really Firefox.
I just bought a laptop last week (An Acer, don't judge me) and one of the first things I did was to give IE the boot and download Safari.
I've used a Mac for years until now, so ya. Safari is my preferred choice.

Not really. I ran NoScript back when i had Firefox, and NoScript is an addon for security PARANOID people. It's not necessary, and not having it is not criminal, and it's not as critical a feature as you make it out to be (you might consider it so, but that doesn't make it true).Agayek said:
Edit: Just to clarify, there is nothing wrong with being security conscious and taking extra measures, but you can't label a products as "lacking" because they don't adhere to your standards when your standards are beyond reasonable.
i'm using IE, and besides the fact that it doesn't really matter to me, i switched to chrome and was EXTREMELY let down. i'm not sure what the issue was, but after using it happily for about a week, i noticed that my comp had been slowed to a crawl. i ctrl+alt+del and brought up task manager, just to discover that even when chrome wasn't running, it was eating between 70 to 90% of my cpu usage. i immediately uninstalled, problem solved.
since then, i've reinstalled, even installed some apps on it, use it on occasion, and everything seems to be fine, but for the most part, i reach for IE for daily browsing.

I use Firefox for primary usage, but I load Chrome when I'm looking to load the browser quickly and with low memory usage.
Anything besides Safari or (dear god) Internet Explorer.

I use firefox although since 4 it seems to have got slowly worse, it randomly crashes and other times it crashes before the window even opens over and over until i restart. I have Chrome as my back up but chances are i will switch over if firefox continues to get worse.
I'm don't use Chrome; SRWare Iron is where its at -_-. But on a much sadder note IE6 is still ;going strong at the places I've worked, along with my friends as well D:
That is an intended feature to help prevent one bad tab crashing all the tabs and to be more secure by separating out potential security issues in single tabs.Sougo said:
I did a quick read up on the stats. The figures given are of the browser usage as a percentage of total traffic. Not a per machine count. When taking percentage of unique users IE shows as 54%. This seems to indicate that heavier internet users use Chrome more which is why Chrome has a higher portion of the total traffic.
