So, over on the old SPOTM, there was a poll asking what browser you use. I couldn't find one on here, so I decided to make one. Personally, I used to use Safari. But then for some reason it started taking forever to open new tabs, so I switched to Chrome. I love it. It's really fast and has a really simple interface.

I haven't tried Chrome yet (I'm waiting for it to get out of beta into a real release).
I usually use Firefox or Safari. Firefox has problems in Youtube, so I use Safari there. I used to love Firefox, but it seems to have gotten shitty over the past few years. I also have Camino on my system, but I rarely use it.

Back when FireFox was still new and was the only browser to support tabbed browsing, I switched to it. Never went back. Been using it for years now and as long as it keeps being supported and further developed I'll keep using it. Foolishly loyal, huh?

I use Chrome. It's absolutely my favourite browser I've ever used.

Swiftfox - Firefox build. I haven't actually noticed any difference.. But I like the icon better and it automatically updates which Firefox doesn't for me.
Chrome for linux is still glitchy, and I can't live without the Lazarus add on.
I don't see myself ever switching for chrome when firefox 4 is going to incorporate options for all the awesome design features (no bar at the bottom and tabs up top to save space)
Still I'm so glad google are making chrome, it will get more people to switch from IE because there's more of a noticeable difference, plus people trust google. AND Chrome OS is going to mean there will be more hardware and software support for linux in the future which will be soooooooooooooooooo awesome.

Internet explorer...because I'm just that lazy to change it...^^" www.getfirefox.comIt will take about 2 minutes and it will save you a lot of time and frustration because it's faster (on my friends super fast connection there was a difference of 3 seconds per page load time) and has lots of ad-ons for "lazy" people. Have you ever been typing and for some reason your browser crashed or you accidentally hit refresh? With lazarus you can get all that text back. Would you like to be able to check your emails just by glancing down the bottom of the screen? There are many notifiers that allow you to. Have you ever wanted to legally download a youtube video and keep it for yourself? You can with download helper.

It is just as fast as FireFox (at least in my opinion) and it has styles and add-ons too.

Chrome is faster, and it doesn't crash. As much as I love Chrome, and although it is faster, it certainly does crash a lot! It's definitely and sadly not the most reliable of browsers.
