I prefer FireFox. Never tried any of the others except IE which always pissed me off because I found that I got more Viruses from IE then Firefox

Been using Opera snapshots for years, 99.915% of the time in linux (yes.. dont use windows...)
the usual bugs since ever: 100% CPU, flash plugins, lack of feature (read: sites not working has they should), keyboard keys "k" "i" "l"x2.. getting ware out, but still using it....

sadly they are making a circus out of it, introducing useless features, but still using it...

Chrome loads 5 times faster than firefox, and has the least cluttered toolbar IMO.

There are some neat tweaks you can do to FF which make a big difference.

I don't really have a preferred browser. I recently started using Opera and it runs pretty smooth. I used Firefox for a while. Firefox worked great on my Dell Laptop, but on my Eee PC 901 it stuttered and froze a lot. Opera on the other hand didn't do that, so I just made the switch to Opera Web browser. Works great and gets the job done! ja ja ja

IE8 for me. Combine with windows 7 ultimate security, ive never looked elsewhere.

I might be missing out, but never mind.

Every PC I have tried Chrome on it crash too much. Even on sites like youtube and google it crashes. Just me? I tried many Computers, FF don't crash often, but Chrome is every 10 mins.
