Which internet browser do you use?

I use internet explorer, then a geek I knew laughed at me for using internet explorer and told me firefox was the best so I got that.

I used that until I installed chrome for some reason I can't remember.

For a while now I've been using both.  Some things work for one that don't work for the other.  I've been using them like a person would use two televisions, one with the sound broke and picture working and one with the picture broke but the sound working. 

I installed opera today expecting the worst, I've never even heard of it before.  I've only been using it for a short time and it works so fast. I don't know what the virus protection is like so I'll probably only use it with websites I know are legitimate.  But I am impressed by the speed and simplicity everything seems to load up.

  This might sound like not much to ask but with chrome and firefox I noticed them both not detecting flash player on different websites I was on, with opera it runs flash perfectly on every website.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

I still use IE.

I've found Firefox to be unstable on several computers I use.

Firefox seems to be on a downhill spiral.

I'm using Chrome more and more.

Firefox.

I do use Chrome at work, but other than that, Firefox, or Safari if I'm on my iPad.

Chrome or IE. FF started to be a pain.

Chrome or Firefox. Firefox mostly for work.

Nobody needs to use internet explorer anymore.

If chrome didn't fire up a new instance of the software every time you open a new tab I might get interested.

Do you have tiny amounts of memory? That would be the only reason I wouldn't suggest Chrome these days. The "process-per-tab" model certainly has more overhead than Firefox, but it does mean tab crashes / hangs do not affect the other tabs.
