    Your Web Browser?

    I know this has been asked for a zillion times already. I just made the switch from Firefox to Chrome completely. Firefox is just way behind Chrome in many areas although there are some aspects of Firefox that are better than Chrome...

    I used to use Firefox exclusively and when Chrome was released, I used it occasionally and the usage level gradually increase over the years up till now whereby it's now time for me to ditch the lovely Firefox.

    What's your opinion on Chrome and Firefox?

    That's what I thought a year ago. However, Firefox is slower, seems to be more buggy, Sync plugin never seem to work as beautifully as Chrome does and other differences made me switched to Chrome after gradually falling in love with it.

    I was using Google Chrome until Firefox 4 went stable. Although Chrome is very fast, I like the feel of Firefox 4 better. That's not to say that I don't use them both, though; I simply use Firefox more.

    Just started trying Chrome again, my main issue is always with blocking adverts. I've installed the Adblock-Plus extension but still getting the Facebook sponsored ads. Need to play around a bit more to see if I can get rid of them

    Using Chrome, FF4 and IE9 here. All works well but Chrome seem to be slower now when compared to the newer versions of FF and IE.

    That's weird since I don't see any with Adblock.

    I have Firefox 4 as well. I thought it could be a reason for me not to leave but the speed improvements don't seem that significant to me as compared to Chrome. As for IE9, I have it, but it offers me no reason to use it regularly.

    Firefox for me.....used it from the start! And Netscape Navigator before that.

    IE? Hardly ever used it....never will either considering I've been Windows-free for 3 years now.

    Chrome? I like it....it's very quick. But I'm just so used to Firefox....and unless something goes radically wrong, I won't change.

    Firefox primarily but also use
    Opera
    Safari
    Chrome
    IE

    I used Netscape back in the 90s before IE existed.

    IE6 rules! hahaha kidding

    Firefox is my steady browser - version 4 is cool.
    I feel more secure in Firefox compare with Chrome.
    Ask for Server IP & Nameservers IP to check if your reseller provider truly provides 100% white-label.

    What about Comodo Dragon? Personally, I like firefox 4 (been using firefox since about 2002), what I like about firefox is the toolbars. Since I constantly have to access hundreds of websites on the daily, it makes my day more efficient and productive. However if there was no Firefox, my second choice would be Comodo Dragon.

    Firefox is my default browser, I use it for everything in normal life. I use Opera when I'm loading proxies, and the only time I use IE is to download FF.

    Regular browsing = IE
    Porn surfing = FF

    Firefox all the way for me and since version 4 came out it would be impossible for me to switch

    I've tried many browsers and if Firefox wasn't an option I'd probably go with Opera.

    I personally use RockMelt which is built of Chromium. At the office our team uses Chrome to surf the web.

    I had switched to opera for a while but lack of some features made me switch back to Chrome, but now I'm thinking about going back to FireFox since FireFox 4 was released recently as stable.
