Just as long as wde brought this topic back to life....

I find IE use slightly above FF and then Chrome. Of course, I think I'm the one making Chrome use to high on the boards I check. Running it on Win and of course a Chromium machine. Wanna kick people in the nads when I get a pop up window telling me I need IE v.X. Climb out of your hole and see the rest of the world! :big_bangin:

I use Firefox for most of my web browsing, Chrome plays second fiddle with Hulu in my 2nd monitor and with YouTube uploads so my main browser doesn't get bogged down. :big_bangin:

Chrome seems to be my favorite lately.. FF has become to full of fluff and too slow.. IE would be un-installed if I didn't need it for a dealing with the state government's web sites...

Mozilla Firefox for everything I need and Google Chrome in case I need to translate something. IE if I want to troll someone:)

Interesting that Google Chrome wasn't on the list... It's actually doing better in the market place then Firefox, and I just saw a report where it surpassed IE 8.0 for the first time. It's trending up...

The original poll was started (and list of options selected) over six years ago. Chrome was first released only three years ago. It's what I've been using most lately. Ask me again in a decade, and it may be a browser that doesn't exist today.

Aye, Chrome all the way. Provides a decent amount of add-ons and can be customized to my liking, it is sleek, compact, simple, and fast.

Definitely the fastest web browser out there, and that's the kicker for me. And it's nice not to deal with excessive tool bars like in IE or Firefox. I wanna see the web page, not five different web search tool bars. My only complaint, is that it is not the most stable of browsers. Chrome itself doesn't crash too much, but the flash plugin seems to be having issues lately.

As a web developer, I prefer Firefox (view selected source, Firebug, etc), Chrome only gets used in my office for watching Hulu, YouTube uploads, and checking cross-browser compatibility of web sites... Firefox might be a slower, but it's the best of the feature-oriented browsers I've used up til now. :)
