Best Internet Browser

Windows Internet Explorer?
Mozilla Firefox?
Google Chrome?
Opera?
Safari?
Which one do you think is best? Personally, I think Firefox is best. It has more functionality of Internet Explorer, it's as fast as Google Chrome and doesn't gobble up much RAM, either.


I might return for a little while.

Re: Best Internet Browser

I personally favor Firefox as its ability to be easily customized with a number of great add-ons (No-Script, AddBlockPlus, etc.) make it a very powerful browser.

Here is my current configuration:

Re: Best Internet Browser

Currently, I use IE because I have all my tabs and stuff on there, but I like Google Chrome too.

Re: Best Internet Browser

I like Safari the most because it feels sleek and fast.

Re: Best Internet Browser

I use lots

There are problems on all though

Cons:

Mozilla's bar takes up half the freakin' page

Google Chrome never works unless you are using an Ethernet cable or have excellent WiFi

Internet Explorer takes so long to load a page my hair would turn gray and fall out before one page loads

Safari always says I can't connect

Pros:

Mozilla has excellent connection

Google Chrome has a small and simple bar

Internet Explorer is good with older versions of Java and Flash

Safari can keep popups under control

Re: Best Internet Browser

Chrome.

No offence, but Firefox is nowhere near as fast as Chrome (the gap is closing though).

Well said.

Safari is my backup browser. I use it when Chrome is clogged up.

Re: Best Internet Browser

I prefer Chrome for its speed and excellent use of screen real-estate.

Re: Best Internet Browser

I use Chrome all the time! My scale from my opinion of how overall best would be Chrome, then Firefox, then Safari, then Internet Explorer.

YAY! I like it when IE is last. However, my school uses IE with BING as it's search engine. >.> What?
