I like firefox. There are websites, like my bank site, that will not load on IE. It gets really fusterating sometimes. So I jus stopped using IE altogether.

I hate IE it never works and always freezes on me, I alternate between chrome and firefox, have them both loaded onto my laptop, sometimes firefox just runs smoother on my dial up connection versus chrome

Firefox is best in my opinion. But I like Chrome too.

As I post I am having to download the latest updates from windows...again! I have to use IE to access a game site...and it crashes all the time. My computer gets mucked up after each windows update as well... so I ran antivirus and ad aware (found 34 items) and then had to restore anyway. Now I'm trying to download the updates again (after sending a problem report containing 96 issues!) to see if it's windows or IE or what. Sigh.

Anyway, I prefer Mozilla for the time being. I don't like the way Google (anything) co-ops with the government, so I may never try chrome.

In Linux (Ubuntu): #1 Mozilla FireFox; Chromium (the open source browser Chrome is built on) is a very close #2.

In Windows XP: Chrome. I have a coupon-printing app that refuses to work with anything other than IE, so IE does get a little use.

How did I end up using four browsers?!

It's between Firefox and Google chrome for me. I like how customizable Firefox is, but I can get too into it, so Google Chrome's simplicity keeps me from getting distracted and putting too much nonsense on my computer.

Ug, I was having so many problems with all the browsers. I was using foxfire consistently until it completely crashed after one of their updates. It got so bad I couldn't even get it to download after that, so I have been without firefox for quite awhile. Can't stand IE, but it's one of those that I need for some things to work...yet other things always crash with it, like I keep weather.com on my desktop so I can keep constant monitor on the weather. It forever crashes everything with IE.

I have Google Chrome on my laptop also. I have everything bookmarked using Google Chrome now even if I don't really like it. It doesn't work well with PC in that I can't update my mood, & I don't like the way it works with the editor. It will not edit in the real mode, but shows all the controls around what I'm writing....only when I go to advanced am I able to see exactly what I am typing......grrrr.

Guess I really don't like the way any of the browsers work when it comes right down to it. I liked firefox the best of all until it completely crashed & haven't been comfortable with one since & after limping along with Google Chrome, I have so many things bookmarked, it make it hard to loose all of the bookmarks (much easier before I ever bothered to do bookmarking).

Hope I can finally get back to firefox some day soon

I like Mozilla Firefox.....really don't like IE.

I tried Chrome recently....just because....and found it to be much faster than it used to be but I still like Firefox better.

I have all installed on my computer. I would like to narrow it down to one. There are several applications that IE won't even touch. Mozilla seems to be ok, but the constant add ons are irritating. Opera wasn't great so that one is going to be uninstalled shortly. Chrome is fast but there are some tools that are not yet available for it.

I've never been an IE fan. I used to love Netscape (anyone remember netscape?). I just want a browser that functions on all the sites I go to.
