    I recently received another work PC and installed Google Chrome after previously using Mozilla Firefox. I have enjoyed it thus far. What do you use?

    Chrome.

    Edit: You may ask yourself how I responded so quickly. The answer? Chrome. It's super fast!

    I split between Firefox and Chrome. I voted Firefox because that's what I'm posting from right now.

    Opera. Truly the lightest website on my RAM usage. Least amount of crashes. Very smooth interface. Quick download speed as well. They are saying it's the fastest browser. Chrome is good, too, but I'm too used to Opera.

    Chrome.

    It's the best one out there. You know how I know? I googled it.

    I have noticed a little bit of that. Sometimes, pages or forms don't quite work right for me. I end up using Firefox for those rare occasions.

    Still, 98% Chrome, 2% Firefox.

    I used Chrome at work and home, but for some reason at home, I have to open like 8 different windows when I start up in order for it to establish a connection to the internet.

    Once it gets established, it works fine and it only happens when I first turn my computer on. It doesn't happen with Firefox and it doesn't happen with Chrome here at work.

    The ones that are designed for ****ty IE.

    IE has 2/3 of the browser market, so it's not because web designers are masochists.

    I used to be a Firefox guy, but I made the switch to Chrome about 6 months ago and haven't looked back. I love this browser. It's clean, extensible, and doesn't suffer from the memory problems that plague Firefox.

    I also use IE 8 at work quite a bit, because I'm a Web Admin and I have to test our apps with the same browser that the majority of our customers use. I actually really like IE 8 and don't have any major complaints against it.

    I use Firefox...IE sucks...I hate how it loads pages. Chrome is good but I feel like it is not fully secure.

    Long time ago I was using Netscape which means that I have been using Mozilla forever. I guess I will never change.
