I personally prefer Google Chrome. It's so easy to use it, and the fastest (at least in my computer).
Also I found the  CRTL + F  (find)  very useful, when searching for something (I use it a lot).
I don't know why but I have problems with Firefox in my comp.
I switch between Google Chrome and Opera (this browser is OK till now).

Firefox is the best!! One of the best addons has to be youtube to mp3. makes it so much easier to download favourite sound clips :)

Also I found the  CRTL + F  (find)  very useful, when searching for something (I use it a lot).
as far as I know this works on most (if not all) web browsers

Please keep it to a discussion, don't let this topic become a list of "a winrar is <browsername>". If you state that please also elaborate on why you think that.

I heard that Google Chrome needs a patch to be able to use Java...
I think, you don't need to download everything that is new.

In my opinion, the Mozilla Firefox is really good. It's faster than some other Browsers, looks really good and has got all features I need. All options are easy to find. It's easy browsing^^
But that doesn't mean that it is the best browser. Every one has got something special.
For example, with Opera you can switch between the tabs by using Ctrl + Tab.

Firefox a thousand times!

Firefox is far better than IE. It's somewhat faster, more stable (hardly crashes), easy surfing, etc.

On firefox, you can switch tabs by holding ALT and pressing either 1, 2, 3 etc on the number pad to switch to the first, second and third tab respectively, of course, if you have three tabs open. (it's like that for me, I don't know if it's so on other browsers)

I tried Chrome, not too bad either, but I'm sticking to Firefox for the simple fact that it has not been released for Linux yet. My XP just crashed and required formatting too often...
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

Currently playing Pokemon XY/ORAS/Shuffle and Clash of Clans and testing out PokemonRevolutionOnline and Dragonmon Hunter....
Also, forum notification emails are not getting in my inbox... again...

i use chrome, but switch to firefox every once in a blue moon if something works better there. it is very rare for a media file to not work on chrome but work on firefox instead, but i have seen it happen, though i could probably count the amount of times on one hand. thing is, chrome is really fast, has a nice new tab function (reminiscent of opera), and if you close the browser and then open it, not only can you maintain all the tabs you had open, but you can still use their back buttons (in other words it keeps a kind of history on each tab, making it as if you never closed them in the first place). also, i was reading through some of the information on chrome and supposedly it has been designed so that if one of your tabs crash, only that tab crashes, and all the other tabs, not to mention the entire browser, are unaffected. this also means that if you have one slow tab, its not going to make the whole things slow, just that one tab (of course if it slows down your computer thats a different story)

.....so......chrome ftw
