What internet browser do you use? v.2.0

I used to use IE until I kept getting infected with Trojans so I now use Google Chrome. Chrome is my favorite because it does not crash like FF and has a clean and simple display for easy and fast browsing which I need! Plus it is customisable to look pretty and underlines misspelled words! :]
 
I use Firefox and I haven't experienced any problems with it at all. I love it and will never change to an inferior brand. Google Chrome is fast, but it has a lot of security vulnerabilities. Internet Explorer is an okay browser, but its slow and has trouble loading certain pages. By far it is the most secure Browser out there, probably the most annoying one too, though. Firefox is secure enough, so in my humble opinion it's the superior browser.
 
I used to use Firefox, but it seems to have become very bloated and kinda buggy lately (but that might just be the Mac version), so I moved to Safari. It's a massive memory hog (it can use up to 800MB of ram, which might just be a little too much...), but it's fast, does what I need it to do, has some good Mac-integration and ClickToFlash <3, it looks so much more elegant than any flashblocker I've found for Firefox.
Firefox also seems to be slowing down in terms of development, it doesn't get 100 on Acid3, its HTML5-support seems to be behind Chrome and Safari, and in pretty much all speed tests it only seems to beat IE (which isn't much of an accomplishment). I used to love it, but it's really going downhill, sadly. It still has a place on my dock, though, for those times when I need a specific add-on.

I did waste quite some time looking for a decent adblocker for Safari, as well as a way to configure some things I had gotten used to using Firefox (Glims seems to do the trick for most of these), and I still haven't found a decent video-download add-on (Window -> Activity does the trick for now), but I don't regret changing.

I don't really like Chrome's interface, tabs-on-top just feels kinda weird to me. I don't really see a reason to start using it over Safari, but it's not a bad browser by any means. It uses Webkit anyway, so the more people use it the more people should start working on Webkit, which should also help me as a Safari user :)

Opera just feels kinda iffy to me. It is by no means a terrible browser, and I applaud their recent efforts to join the ranks of Safari and Chrome in terms of speed, but I don't see myself switching to it any time soon.
 
I first used Internet Explorer until I got a Mac. Then I used Safari with more success, and decided to try out Firefox on the Windows side (using Bootcamp), because it looked nice and IE really needed replacing. Firefox was pretty cool since it informed me there was such a thing called a "plug in" (I thought it was just for FF at the time), and it had a cool interface. Then something gave me a virus on Windows (the virus checker said it was from Pokemon Elitemap, but I haven't used it in years), and while someone attempted to help, he froze the virus but screwed up my computer in many other ways. After that was sorted out, I couldn't get FF to stop using Safe Mode. This gave me the opportunity to try out Google Chrome. The interface felt a little strange, but the only real problem is that there's no search bar at the top right. How can Google not know how important they are? It may be some obscure setting or plug in, but it's still annoying nevertheless. Besides that, it's awesome! I'm not sure if I should replace Safari though...
 
I guess I use whatever isn't glitching up at the time haha... but I primarily use Google Chrome just basically because for me, it's easy to maneuver around and it's super fast. I also use Firefox but I never waste my time with I.E lol... too many fails on my computer. :p

I use Mozilla FireFox browser.It open sites very fastly and securely .I used it six years and its work excellent .
 
I actually use an extension for firefox, which turns it into Palemoon. Fast as heck. :D

I've personally never had much luck with Crome. And I really really do not like IE at all.
 
I tried Firefox, I found it slow and ackward. I went back to IE8, they have improved the speed on it.
 
I used to use Firefox for a long time. Got tired of that. Moved to Google Chrome, really enjoyed it. Then suddenly it stopped working for me. Now I have to use Safari. Safari isn't that bad, but I am having some problems with it.
 
I think Firefox is much better than IE, so I use firefox. Occasionaly I use IE on school or something, and sometimes I browse on my Wii using Opera. What browser does the PS3 use? Is use that one too ;)
 
^IE8? Or is it a new one?

Im currently using Internet Explorer 8, but thats because Im on my desktop, and not my laptop. Ive been using IE forever, until recently, I dont know what happened, but my laptop won't open up Windows Explorer anymore, and Norton360 can't be opened and only does backround scans, so basically, IE screwed me over. When I got the chance, I immediately switched to Firefox. It's been great and fast, and I like the way it looks. XP I don't like the way the bookmarks are set up, and wish they get a clickable sidebar for that. Also, when I copy/paste PNGs into paint, I can't get rid of the black, which makes spriting a nightmare. I just stick with GIMP because I don't know of any way that can be helped. Opera, I haven't used, and Chrome, I might just try it, but it's likely I won't. Safari, I use on my iTouch, but it won't sync with my desktop and only my laptop. When I tried, it reset and updated my iTouch. :/ Anyways, Firefox for me.
 
Firefox, its got all my bookmarks, addons, all that good stuff.

I use chrome when firefox bugs out
 
Google Chrome, since it's so simplistic and easy to use. Thinking of switching to Firefox, because of the Persona themes.
