CAST YOUR VOTE: Google Chrome vs Internet Explorer vs Mozilla Firefox vs Safari

Like most people, I originally experienced cyberspace using Internet Explorer. After a while, I switched to Mozilla Firefox and was so blown away that I stayed with it and nothing else. I recently tried Google Chrome simply to see how it compared, and I must say, that it is by far the fastest browser that I have ever used.

I also like how, whenever a new tab is opened in Google Chrome, it automatically displays the eight most recently displayed websites as thumbnails. I do not believe Google Chrome is nearly as popular as Mozilla Firefox, and to be honest, I have no idea why.

Anyways, I was wondering what browser everyone else uses and how they believe they compare with each other. Please have your opinion be known.

Firefox is awesome.

Chrome is cool too, it's faster, but it doesn't have all of the functionality of FF. Also, wtf is with the tabs at the top?

i started out with IE, have been using mozilla for awhile now. should i switch to chrome? is it that much better?

Opera>>>>>>>>>>>>Firefox>>>>>>>>>>Internet Explorer>>>>>>>>>>>>>Google Chorme (or Chomium)>>>>>Safari

i use chrome since firefox kinda stopped working for me...

I use Mozilla Minefield, better than all of them 8)

I can't think of a reason why firefox is in any way better than safari, other than the customization in terms of cosmetics..Elemayo

I like google chrome, gotta love the incognito window (if you know what I mean).

firefox is where its at imo

chrome>>>firefox>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>safari and ie

firefox all thee way

I use Firefox.

Firefox all the way! Whoo! :D

I use Chrome, because I'm tired of Firefox crapping out on me. Although Google is a MUCH fast web browser, it's copy/past functionality annoys the crap out of me. I also don't like how I can't drag images from the browser onto my Photoshop window, like I can with Firefox . I also don't like how you can't select to delete all of your data when you close the browser like in Firefox and the lack of add-ons.

However, keep in mind that Chrome is still a new browser, so I'm not expecting for it to be perfect out of the gate. I'd say within a couple of years, it will definitely be the best browser around.

I switched to Safari a little while back because Firefox would randomly quit on me....

I like it, I haven't tried Chrome yet.

I wonder if it was one of the new updates that caused it. I've been hearing that as the reason A LOT of people stopped using Firefox (me included)

I use Safari on Windows, because Chrome runs slowly on my comp, or else I would be using that.

I have problems with all of them. I've had the least problems with IE and the most with firefox.

just tried to Dl google chrome,but it turned out to be forbidden for my country :cry:

Firefox definitely

I like Firefox. However, Sea Monkey is also very awesome.

I have tried and used them all, including a couple that are not listed.

Chrome is good and may improve until it is the equal of Firefox but has has not managed to get there yet.

IE is better than it was but is still far behind the others.

Safari has advantages, especially in security and I use it for banking but Firefox for almost everything else.

Chrome is my favorite. It's faster, I like how it shows the most viewed sites of yours each time you enter Chrome, and I don't care about the add-ons or customization that FireFox has.

I started with IE, then moved to Firefox, and am now with Chrome.

Whist FF has customisation, I prefer Chrome because of the larger screen size and the fact that it's faster in so many ways. When I click on the icon to open when I first turn on my computer, it opens almost instantly, whilst FF takes about 15-20 seconds.

Also, when comparing Chrome to IE, Chrome is twice as fast at loading pages, from my experience.

Since when was customization as minor as you make it sound? It's not just swapping out your browser colors or something like that (not that it isn't possible)..you can actually make enormous alterations to Firefox's functionality. I personally can't live without my Firefox add-ons, so no other browser really interests me. Functionality-wise, nothing else compares to Firefox thanks to the extension community.

People can link to benchmarks all day long, but browser performance with how it relates to the user's experience is nearly indetnical between Firefox 3 and browsers like Chrome/Safari/Opera (having used them each quite a bit myself.)

Internet Explorer >> Google Chrome >>>>>>>>> Safari >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Firefox

Google Chrome ´cos it does what i want my browser to do, and only that. No doodads, props, immersive customization, just clean, simplistic functionality. At the end of the day, it´s my favourite for those reasons. :P

I'm down with the fox
