I just switched to chrome. Damn. It's so much faster and smoother than Firefox. I resisted as it didn't have an extension I liked but now Chrome has it. No hang ups like FF. Only thing Chrome sucks at is themes.

Just had to upgrade Firefox to 12.0 because it wasn't going to support my versions intrusion and spam protection anymore.

I don't like this version compared to the older one I had, the buttons on top are literally 5 times smaller.

It''s the exact same as the last several version. can only seem different if you were on 3.5 or something but since 4.0 FF has looked like that. They all are going for that simpler look.

I'm using Chrome because Firefox has been closing out of the blue with an error message the last few days in the middle of browsing. No new addons or anything so that's not whats screwing with it. No websites I have not frequented before.

Still rocking Opera, but slowly leaning towards IE9. AAAAAAAaaaaaaaannnnnd I just lost the respect of every single person here. Not that I had it to begin with.

But if you will, hear me out for a second: I don't use extensions. I find them a waste. I don't do anything complex enough to require it. The sites I visit don't have that many annoying ads. And as it turns out, IE9 doesn't suck all that much: it's more stable than any other browser I've used recently, and its performance, while not the best, is quite consistent. I love the fact that you can pin the sites to your taskbar and get custom jumplists for each one. The facebook site pratically behaves like an app.

I still have Opera, and use it for most things, except facebook, Google+, and flash video (performance is better on IE than on Opera).
I've tried firefox and chrome, but for some reason, neither of them appealed to me. I might give them a shot again if Opera doesn't fix a few things in the upcoming version 12.

Hate IE9.

IE9 still has the most security issues. Only time I use IE is to download another browser. I used to use Opera long ago but never like it despite using it for almost a year.

Not necessarily. In fact, one of its most praised points are its security and privacy options. IE9 is, to me, good for a simple reason: it is effective, and it's not as crash-prone as FF, Chrome or even Opera.

It does. Every year the convention to see which is hacked the fastest. IE9 was done in matter of 2 hours. FF was a couple days. Chrome did best.

I hope you are ready to be called on your bullshit. (: And over the fact that your info is outdated.

No browser is secure, that is a given. IE is targeted more, that is also a given. But my point is, though not as sophisticated, IE9 has its merits.

Just fully installed and transfered all into Chrome. All i want is the fastest browser for the likes of Youtube and media, and as far as i have read, Chrome is the best for HTML5.

I have found the culprit to Firefox crashing, its whenever I am watching a youtube video. I downloaded the latest flash and it didn't start crashing until after I did that.
