    I use Chrome. I like the layout, and it's just as fast, if not faster than Firefox on my computer.

    Same here. :grin:

    I've always been fairly satisfied with Internet Explorer and as such, am using that and have been for all my Internet life. :astonished:

    Safari came pre-installed. Thankfully can't use IE - I'm kind of the anti-microsoft. Or at least a follower. But safari doesn't save tabs, so I switched to firefox (used to use it on my PC). I use FF for all the awesome stuff like firebug and everything else I use for my occasional hacking. Might try chrome, so long as it saves tabs. Used to use chrome for multiple accounts on my PC, now I just use safari for them. Cant remember if chrome saves tabs. To lazy to dl and find out. IE used to crash my PC. Will not touch.

    I use Chrome, it's the fastest for me and it saves everything I need - plus it looks a lot nicer than IE did.

    NO! This is VERY BAD. That's the worst browser in the world and it makes people's lives more difficult.

    I'm a web designer and you guys probably have no idea how much of a pain in the ass it is to debug a website for Internet Explorer. It's awful. Waste of time.

    Abandon IE, save a web designer.

    I'm completely serious. Go download Chrome, you'll like it a lot more as it doesn't look like shit and it renders HTML and CSS using web standards instead of forcing me to hack around a shittily made system.

    INTERNET EXPLORER IS THE WORST, AND IF YOU USE IT, YOU ARE THE WORST.

    Chrome. I use FF to a small degree. Rarely ever use IE.

    I also second the web designer. If you've never used Chrome or FF (but I recommend Chrome), you should at least try it for a few days to a week and then try IE again and see if you don't think IE, afterwards, is a hunk of poo.

    Not to derail but just to throw that out there...

    I've also designed web sites (not on a professional level though) using Dreamweaver and using Internet Explorer as the default browser (I'm in the minority, but I never liked Firefox, but from what I've seen of Chrome, it looks wonderful so I may try it out) and the only issues I had were down to my limited skills using Javascript and such.

    But seriously, calm down over the fact I'm using IE. Please.

    Chrome 90% of the time, Firefox 8%, IE 1.9%, with 0.1% when I might realize I also have Safari or Opera there but then forget.

    I use Opera and Chrome, but I always switch back and forth between them.
    I love them both! Quick and simple. Firefox occasionally when I need an add-on or something.

    Chrome for me, all the time. We have IE at school I and want to pull my hair out!

    Before Chrome, I used Firefox (to mild annoyance) and before that, I used a very unknown one called Deepnet which was so much better than the IE at the current time (and probably still is!). Looking at Deepnet now, it's so angular and unstreamlined, aaaaah, did I really use that!?

    Firefox 5 for 70% of the time
    Chrome for 30% of the time

    Also, it's interesting because I tried to delete my internet explorer and couldn't (I use Windows 7). I then proceeded to delete the IE files in the registry. Didn't work. Then, Safe Mode. Still didn't work. Finally, I got around tweaking the permissions and such and finally got rid of that horrible monster of a browser xD

    i use opera, because went i want it to NOT show these annoying and marketing toolbars, it DOES NOT show them. Unlike IE...when you disabling a toolbar, do everything to keep it OFF, it always comes back.

    Firefox, both at home and in work. I use Thunderbird and Open Office in work also to replace the costly Microsoft alternatives.

    Chrome. That's my favourite, but if it breaks or something my backup is Opera
