Chrome - syncs between all my PCs and my tablet - even better if I search for a store on my desktop and I open my tablet, its preloaded directions to the location.
 
I voted for Firefox, but I would like to specify Firefox 1... I loved Firefox when it first came out, and was what it was... a very basic, no-frills, simple browser that just got you from point A to point B. I hate all of the new crap they stuff into the new versions, and I hate how they got rid of traditional buttons in traditional places, in favor of the tabbed garbage.

Opera comes in second.
 
Got used to Firefox, now I can't use anything else. I tried Opera, but it just doesn't do it for me. It's too bad because Firefox is such a RAM hog.
 
I've always been a Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox user. However, I've moved to Chrome some months ago due to some unresolved issue with Firefox on my PC and, also, due to speed on my netbook.

I still prefer the open-ess of Firefox (who knows what information Chrome gathers from my PC without me knowing...) but I noticed that Chrome is much faster, which is convenient for me. A pet peeve is that I can't use spell checking with two languages at once with Chrome.
 
I've tried Chrome a couple of times, but so far, I've generally preferred Firefox.

I know Chrome is supposed to be faster, but the last time I tried it (over the weekend) it was actually slower to browse the forum than with firefox.
 
Opera - If for no other reason, it's integrated notepad is a useful feature to have around.
 
I voted for Firefox, even though it has become an over-bloated POS like Netscpae was when I dumped it many years ago.

Chrome is good, if a bit under-bloated (ie: a little too bare bones).

I've tried Safari, Opera and Sleipnir (an obvious rip-off/copy of IE, which doesn't inspire a good feeling).

I only use IE at work, for the variety of web-bases apps we have.
 
i voted for Firefox. I got Chrome, Safari and IE installed on my computer as well. I tried them all before but my personnel preference is still Firefox. I never tried Opera before. Maybe i should give it a try.

The funny thing is that i was a big fan of Netscape Navigator browser back in the 1990s. I became a fan of Mozilla Firefox in the 2000s without knowing it was actually a spinoff of Netscape Navigator.

Opera feels the closest to Firefox out of all of them.
 
I tried Firefox for a while but wasn't impressed. It was slower than Safari and felt awkward. Haven't had reason to use IE since I stopped working. Haven't tried any of the others.

I actually find Firefox easy to use compared to the others. Plus I don't trust Goggle Chrome and Apple Safari. Who knows what data they could be mining from your web browsing. I have disliked Microsoft IE since the 1990s when the web browser war between IE and Netscape Navigator began. Netscape Navigator lost the war eventually. That was a sad event for me.

To paraphase a quote from the firefly tv series, "I may have been on the losing side, but i am not convinced that i was on the wrong side".

Google Chrome. It functions much smoother than the others, at least for my requirements.
