Your Favorite Browser

[Crazywink]

I'm curious to see what Internet Browsers you guys use now. Since the big push of the new and improved Internet Explorer, and the new FireFox beta all trying to compete with Google Chrome.

I've been using Google Chrome for a long time, but I just recently started using the FireFox Beta, and it actually seems a bit faster than Chrome. Internet Explorer used to be HORRIBLE, but with the new release and huge push, it's actually quite fast.

So, what's your favorite Internet Browser, and which do you use the most?

I haven't any favorits browser. I use both Firefox & Chrome .
There is a lot of other browsers that are not bad. But for now, FF & Chrome, are the only two that can manage plugins, ons, as well.

I use Firefox now since years and it's very fast as I know.
I only use a modified chrome version only for buying parts and banking because it's more secured than the other but by the side u can put some plugins in the Firefox what make it secure too but I am to lazy to make it hehe

firefox all the way I think I could get used to chrome aswell but ehh, too lazy to try it out As of new "better" IE, heeh I don't buy what they say, IE has been a pain in the ass to use so I'm never going to use it again whatsoever

I use google chrome for regular web browsing, I'll have to try out the new firefox if it's faster then chrome



And i agree with Internet Explorer improving their speed, and it looks pretty neat too

I currently use FireFox as well. One thing I didn't include in that statistic list was security.. And Chrome takes the money with it's security measures.

Google was offering $20,000 to anyone that could crack Google Chrome. Security at it's finest.

 

[dunk]

Gonna crack Google Chrome

 

[c5]

Gonna crack Google Chrome

I'll write a check of 100,000 $ when you are done then

I use firefox, but im starting to hate it. It lags so hard at random times, and I can play bf3 at 30 fps...

 

[boogie]

I were always in love with firefox, but since few weeks i had some problems with flashplayer freezing it and i switched to chrome. I miss some of my plugins but well, at least its stable.

 

[m0v]

Maybe you guys should update your flash player the same problem I was having too but than it goes well try it out

For the lack of love towards internet explorer, I withhold from voting Chrome.

Chrome takes alot of RAM? Who cares! Modern computers have 8+ gb ram and like 4.5 or even more on 12 and 16 gb systems of them are unused.
