So which browser do you use the most and why? I currently use Firefox since I find that it's easier to scroll down on pages, plus Youtube doesn't skip videos when a page is loading unlike in Chrome. :V Though sometimes I find myself using Chrome from time to time but meh.

I use all three on a regular basis (IE, Firefox & Chrome) but that's cause I'm constantly testing out new website designs and a lot of stuff that Firefox and Chrome can do, IE can't cause it sucks.



My main browser is Firefox though. I think the addons are of a higher quantity and quality than Chrome's.

Chrome. I don't care for add ons, plus Chrome is fast and gets the job done with as minimal crap as possible.

Chrome. It is less bloated than Firefox (unless you have around thirty+ tabs up, but Firefox is worse at that number) but I would honestly still use Firefox over any browser that is not Chrome.

I mainly stick with Firefox as it's the best for website development. I'd probably switch to Chrome in a heartbeat if it had better debugging tools. :)

I use Firefox most of the time. Only switch to Google Chrome if something happen to my Firefox.

I generally use Google Chrome. I used to use the Internet Explorer a lot, but when I realized that my computer ran a lot faster with Google Chrome, I made the switch and I haven't regretted it.

I agree Chrome is pretty nifty but I've gotten too used to Firefox.  :beckveryhappy

To be honest, I don't dislike IE9 that much, although that isn't hard to accomplish considering IE6, 7, and 8 all sucked.

IE10 is a massive upgrade. Shame it's still as slow as ever though. Still, it nearly renders anything I can throw at it unlike IE9, IE8, etc. :becklaughing

I use Chrome. The hover zoom add-on is amazing. Saves a lot of time too.



I've also got Android devices so I can easily sync up my bookmarks and can dive into webpages I have on other devices with ease but that's just Chrome. It's great to download Chrome on the iPod Touch because Safari is garbage.

Chrome. I noticed how sluggish Firefox is compared to Chrome. As for Explorer... Yuck. Although, Firefox has more helpful things than Chrome.
