Are you baffled about the amount of web browsers? I am on the verge of it. I curently use Google Chrome Version 17.0.965.56 and sometimes Firefox and/or Internet Explorer (IE) and like Google Chrome. Why? One I use Google products, from Google Docs, to Google Translate and even Khan Academy, and Chrome makes it REALLY easy for this! I am advising for Google Chrome and Firefox (FF). If you know any not mentioned in the name that are better and/or worse please type it here!!!
Thanks

Safari on my mac just yesterday started flipping its sh*t and not letting me click on anything and not going to the url i type in, so for now I'm on firefox. I really think internet explorer is the best, and google chrome is by far the worst and least popuar

Google Chrome is obviously not the least popular, Kalb.


I like Chrome because it's just really easy to navigate with. Customization is super easy, and you don't need to know technical stuffs.

Opera is a close second, because I use Opera with my phone.

Safari and IE can go jump off a cliff together.

FireFox is alright, I'll use it if Chrome or Opera aren't there.

Its ether Google Chrome or Firefox for me, but i'm using Google Chrome at the moment. Like people have said, its easy to use and navigate and you can Customize it. Like right i have a humming bird as my home page :P oh and Google is my fav search engine ;D

The only problem I have with Chrome is that, seeming randomly, it stops responding, keeps telling me random pages i have up are not responding, but when i try to close them nothing happens, and the only solution is to wait 10 minutes for it to stop


Yup. That's why I switched to Firefox. I used it in school, and I'm using it on my brand new computer. I'll admit, Chrome was my go to browser, but honestly, I'm using Firefox right now, and it's better. I never liked the whole customization thing. Firefox is a strong, sturdy web browser. As for Google Chrome, it's a great web browser, and I'll admit it, but it seems like it's just not my style.

I tried Chrome and I can't stand the layout. I don't like having thumbnails of my 6 favorite websites right there on my home page. It really doesn't make things any easier, because you can add about 6 - 8 sites under your address bar.

FireFox is fast, efficient, and easily customizable. The only problem with FireFox is that every time you download anything at all, even if you're downloading a picture, the download prompt comes up as a pop up. Luckily, there's an add on that fixes this issue.

My fav is FireFox, I don't know, it's very fast and nice. I've been using it since a long time.
And my "less fav" is Internet Explorer.

Then change your homepage to something else.

Personally Chrome is my favorite. I find it the fastest and it is easy to use. I also like FireFox because you can block a bunch of the ads and stuff you don't want and customize it. Seeing how I use Google and other Google things I use Chrome.

I used to be an IE man, but then I opened my eyes to the world of Firefox being my default browser, and it was love at first site.

Although Safari can come in handy for certain things...

I don't see a speed difference between Chrome and Firefox, what decides it for me are the extensions, and Firefox wins.

The reason I don't care for Chrome is because sometimes when I navigate to another page, the screen flashes white while it loads. That gets on my nerves. IE does it too.

I used Netscape until it was bought by AOL. Then I switched to Mozilla, then Mozilla Firefox. I don't like chrome because Google can spy more on what you do with it. I also use PeerBlock to stop terrorist organizations like MPAA, Amazon AP2P EC 2 Cloud, crooked lawyers offices looking for easy buck, Doubleclick and other arsewipes who spy on your activities so they can sell it to advertising weasels, etc.
