Recently switched to Chrome for Firefox.
I spent a good 15 seconds restarting the cogs in my brain from trying to work out what you did reading that. I hope your happy with yourself. And then you edited it so I and only I would suffer - I'm on to you.

OT: Yeah, used chrome since it came out, basically. It's only flaw for me was shockwave crashing, which hasn't happened for a few months.
I like how your whining about a grammatical error has a grammatical error, so you can error while you error.
OT: Heck yeah I use Chrome. The keys don't stick when you play flash games.

Personally I use a browser until I don't like it for some reason, then try something new. I find the whole "this browser is faster than that browser" kinda laudable. Used IE until when they did an update to... 8 or 9? I don't know, one or the other, but the UI change had me like: "What did you do to my browser!?"

So currently using Firefox. Only ever used Chrome in university for pages that Firefox couldn't run.

Chrome reminds me of the DualShock: an obviously broken design, yet people somehow are okay with it, and worst of all, other companies even copy its mistakes, discarding what was correct in their previous products. It's disgusting!

Chrome is a top 2 candidate but the rendering engine breaks a lot of fonts, including on the escapist's. Keeping firefox, thx.

Browser wars are retarded, the whole point was for Micro$oft to lose, and it has. Google and Mozilla should work more closely to develop the standards and unify at least the rendering engine. M$ does not even deserve a place at the table, let alone a voice in the matter or - science forbid - lead the way.

I stick to IE for it's stability, by personal experience. I've tried almost every browser out there, and I've never, to the life of me, been able to notice any sort of difference in performance between any of them. IE, FireFox, Chrome and Safari would always load up, change and switch between pages with ease and little processing power. The only browser that would boast any sort of improvement over the rest is the browser on Steam, which is weird considering that it can only run when a resource-sucking game is in use.

The browser inside of Steam is, since about a year or so, running on WebKit, i.e. the same engine as Safari and Chrome. Before that, it used Trident (IE).

Anyway, Firefox for life, word out, peace.

I love Chrome. Every time my brother shows me something on his computer I cringe. I suppose it's not because he's using Firefox, but rather because he doesn't utilize Firefox and its capabilities. Still, I tell myself it's because Chrome is better. ;D

I occasionally use Safari, mainly on my iPhone or iPad, but otherwise it's strictly Chrome. Firefox was something I really enjoyed, at least until Chrome was released. As for IE... I couldn't stand the ***** no where!

What's with all the love for a browser made by an advertising company? What is the obsession with the products of the Chocolate Factory, anyway?

Use whatever you want, but don't think that your browser makes you somehow special, or better that the poor schmuck still stuck with IE6.

Hmmm, I'm part of that red line way at the bottow of the diagram.

Yes indeed, I'm an Opera man. Don't know why. Other browsers just feel clumsy by comparison, if that makes any sense at all.

No, I meant to use your, the possessive form. If we did what you suggested, the sentence would read "I like how you are whining about a grammatical error has a grammatical error", which is inaccurate, and does not convey the point I intended to get across, namely that YOUR grammatical failing is ironic.

OT:chrome is still awesome.

At least IE9 is a decent browser, unlike its horrible standards-shunning predecessors.

I'm concerned about IE8 though - three or four years from now IE8 is going to be as annoying to web developers as IE6 was before its death. IE8 doesn't support HTML5 at all while IE9 and all other browsers do, and it's going to hold the web back for a loooong time.

I've been using Chrome ever since it came out. I have always used it because of its simplistic design and it runs very well on older computers. The only reason I don't use Firefox is that it has always lagged and ran really slowly for me. Safari is only good on a Mac.

The reason i Use chrome is because EI just sucks
Firefox and Opera have a problem playing videos and crash too damn much
Chrome is the only one that isnt cluttered with tool bars, crashes every day, and can actually play videos smoothly. And it doesnt take up memory space and processing power as much as the others

Still using firefox. It goes fast enough for me and does what it needs to do. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
