Explorer? Chrome? Fire Fox? Safari?

Defend your browser!

I just got Chrome a few weeks ago and I am loving it! Its an extremely "light" browser so I actually notice a huge difference in loading times. There are a few things, like downloading word documents, that can be a problem sometimes, but overall Chrome is fantastic.

What do you use?

I personally like Firefox because it has a lot of add-ons that other browsers do not have, many of which are very useful. Many browsers are catching up with add-ons similar to Firefox, but Firefox started the trend and is still leading the way in innovation.

I think if your computers got the power to run a memory-heavy browser like Firefox, you should run it, but if your on a laptop or an older model computer, I can see why you shouldn't be running Chrome.

I tried installing Chrome a few weeks back on my XP machine and it kept hanging at around 70% on the install, so I was never able to really try it out.

Internet Explorer is garbage, but because it still does control a majority of the internet market share, it makes web developers (like me) have a run for there money, because you have to fix so many Javascript and HTML bugs just because IE6 and even IE7 can't decode them properly.

Also, I'd like to make an honorable mention to Opera. Opera is very powerful, light-weight and useful. Its basically a mix between Firefox and Chrome, with its light-weight and speed but ability to run themes and plugins. Its not the "best of both worlds" but its pretty good.

Firefox is still my pick.

I have been an avid Firefox advocate but I have been suing Chrome the last month and am loving it!

Chrome gets my vote as of now.

I edited your post, Arpoc, with a poll, so now you can really cast your ballet.
