I'm using Google Chrome, because it's the fastest browser I've seen.

Firefox too, it's got a great theme and I can change it (along with many other things) to however I like
Though I use FireFox at the moment, I think having a variety of web browsers is always good as they all have different features which are great to use for sepertate parts of the web.

I found out that there's a theme for Firefox that's called Chromifox I think and it makes Firefox looks as if it's Google Chrome. Except it has the annoying tool bar at the top. So sticking with Firefox for now.

Chrome, how many of these threads are there? xD
Fast, simple, lots of themes, good customization options, not too many toolbars or other unnecessary crap.

A lot. I might switch back to Chrome because the toolbar in Firefox (I have Windows XP for now) is annoying me so much.

I tried Chrome, and I actually have it open right now, though it's just a new incognito window. I was more annoyed at the lack of any toolbars. Sleek and simple has it's pluses, but I like to be able to find what I'm looking for.

I honestly prefer Firefox, you can get rid of all toolbars if you want, I only have the bar for my tabs right now, and I know that if I only press Alt(Menu bar) or F4(Navigation), I can access the others.
Firefox, much more customizable than any other. And I'm used to using it since I was really young.

This is pretty much what would come from my mouth. I grew up on Internet Explorer, and Firefox is just so much more familiar than Chrome that I would use it anyways, if disregarding the customizability.

It has a screen where you can put tabs of your favourite 8 websites and access them easily.
You can bookmark and 'favourite' pages the normal way too.
So what else could you possibly be looking for?

I really can't see any reason why Chrome isn't the best..

The menu bar.

Everyone has different standards, Chrome isn't up to mine.

Eight favorite websites seems a little stupid and redundant, considering bookmarks.

Oh, and it's also my personal opinion that it looks quite unattractive. Not ugly, but almost there.

Oh, and did I mention I like toolbars?

Because it's an opinion. People want different things out of their browsers. I want easy organization and customizability, FF gives me that. Some people just want a fast browser, Chrome for them.

IE for me. No real reason it just is.

Internet Explorer. I am to lazy to install Chrome, and IE works just fine.

IE is okay. It has all the basic needs for Internet browsing, bookmarks, search engine, good speed, etc. The only thing is that it is not the fastest browser out there nor does it have the most features. Downloading Chrome or Firefox is a choice, you don't have to.

Chrome. It's really fast - WAY faster than that clunky Internet Explorer, and only like 10% of the screen is toolbar.

I use Google Chrome, because its faster than IE, and FF bugs me because you have to do File-New Tab instead of just clicking a button. So really I'm just lazy.
