I use Chrome for everything except my university student portal, because it's shit and doesn't work with Chrome for some reason. Firefox was crashing a bit too much for my tastes a couple of months ago, so I switched.

I think IE was the most used simply because most people didn't know about the alternatives. Sure there were many who knew of Chrome, Opera, Firefox and so on but a larger majority knew only IE.

Opera all the way for me. Though Cascade and Tile buttons sometimes make me go :mad: for their damn placement.

Firefox does everything I want it to do and without problems. I don't see any reasons to change to Chrome.

Does Chrome even have Noscript or an addblock addon?

I also continue to use Firefox. Chrome has a bad habit of crashing and generally being unresponsive for me. (And on my older and slower computer I would use Opera, it's fantastic for low-end PCs.)

After my computer got fixed I started out using Opera. I liked it, but something about it, I don't remember what, annoyed me to no end. Then I switched to Chrome. Worked fine for a while, then YT videos, among others, started lagging like hell. Now I'm using Firefox and I haven't had too many problems with it.

Using Firefox here, been using it for a long time now and its done the job well. Personally I don't like chromes UI it feels clumsy to me. Different strokes for different folks though. It also pleases me that more people are ditching IE in favour of browsers that actually are not a security liability.

The only reason IE is even so popular and widely used is because it comes pre loaded and it was the first browser pretty much, most companies adopted it to run their business programs on and it would be a pain in the arse to change. Plus if they decided to change OS they can still run the old version of IE on the new OS build with little work.

Prefer Firefox for most thing, but on a small screen (like my laptop) I will prefer chrome due to smaller interface for the normal navigation, but still have Firefox installed on it for web programming (internet explorer is there also, but it mostly because Microsoft just don't want to follow damn web standard, so got to check on it if display correctly. Why can't you just not force damn border around image used has link and use the normal css opacity... )

Actually, I'm using Firefox to read this, though I do use Chrome as well occasionally.

Oh, how the mediocre have fallen. Back in the day, Microsoft's Internet Explorer was cool. Really cool. Then people realized the browser sucked way more RAM and CPU cycles than it needed to, but there wasn't really an alternative.
When was that? I remember Opera and Netscape Navigator as being the shit before Firefox came out.

I'm sorry, but changing "teaspoons" to "tablespoons" and "Baking soda" to "baking powder" just IS NOT OKAY.
Umm I get the baking soda being changed to baking powder... but teaspoons and tablespoons are completely different units of measure in relation to baking. At least they are over here in the UK.

OT: Nah, tried Chrome but I much prefer my beloved Firefox! It's always been there for me and has never presented me with a problem. Plus I love foxes... so I guess I'm kinda biased!

Why good sir, I -am- using Chrome!
I love it's simplicity, though I can't figure out how to uninstall uTorrent's search bar thing.

The only reason I stopped using firefox is because the browser had (and probably still has) a fucking massive memory leak.

I'm in the habit of keeping my browser open but it's impossible for me to do that with Firefox since if I left it open for any length of time it would start using over a GB of memory and eventually crash itself or the game I was playing, sometimes both.
I'm currently running FF v12 and I've had not even a hint of a memory leak, crash, or any other issue.

I too will leave my browser up while doing other things. Sometimes for long stretches. So far it's barely touched my system resources when I've left it up.

Might be worth giving it another shot. I can't promise you won't experience a bug, but I can tell you I haven't seen one yet.

Hmm. Good, if oddly apropos, advice.

Not from what I've seen.

Granted, I haven't really looked extensively at Chrome's "addon" features, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything like NoScript.

Which is one of the primary reasons I still stick with Firefox. I loves my NoScript. It's easily one of the most handy addons I've ever used for a browser.
