So I'm bringing this conversation over from the Chrome OS topic. We got started on discussing different web browsers, and what we liked about them. I figured it'd be a good thing to have it's own topic.

So, what are you using? I just recently switched myself from Firefox to Chrome because, quite frankly, I feel that it's a faster browser that's less crash-prone. It's also got the whole separate-processes-per-tab thing going on. Sure I had to give up my woot watcher extension and Greasemonkey scripts for the time being, but it's been pretty worth it so far.

You topic whore. :P

Firefox ever since I started, it was like drugs couldn't stop. Tried Opera and Chrome and couldn't get into either. I think that the cause of me being so use to Firefox and not having every Add-on I want.

Like I said in the other topic, Firefox until I can find a way for Opera to mimic 30+ add-ons.

This. I started using it in the beginning mostly because of tabs.

I use a telephone and I decode the sound in my head so I can visualize the web page. I make vocal noises to navigate through sites.

Firefox mainly, but I use IE8 on occasion. Like when I need to look a single web page, but don't feel like waiting for Firefox to open my 10-something default tabs.

I use Google Chrome. Why? I guess it's just that the bookmarks are so easy to organize, and it's so close to the address bar. Also that it takes nearly no space at all.

I'm still using Firefox because it's got so many themes I like, but I try out different browsers every now and again to see if I like them.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing some all important truth in the world. At that point I usually grab some chips and watch the people who have apparently found it tear each other apart in the super market over the now last bag of chips...

Google Chrome, it's blindingly fast compared with even Safari. I also have a Quad Core processor and more RAM than I am likely to use (at least for a few years), so I'm content to toss it to a web browser to increase stability for the time being. Now if only they would add RSS Support....

I've used Firefox since it first came out. I never cared for Opera, and I tried Chrome when that first came out and didn't like it. I might give it another go sometime, since the one I tried was a pretty early beta, but for now I'm gonna stick with Firefox.

I started using FF because of tabs. Now....I just love it too much to switch. <3
I've tried other browsers, and I just don't like them as much.

I'm trying out Google Chrome... I didn't like it at first, but it's less noticeable than IE or Firefox, so it makes up for its suck by being completely innocuous.

Firefox. Mainly because it runs best on my computer. I wouldn't really want to change browser now anyway. I was gonna get chrome but changed my mind , myeh , Firefox will do for me I probably wouldn't like a new browser its really frustrating getting used to all the new features and such :/ I'd choose firefox out of all browsers right now though.
