I have a pop-up blocker activated on IE. Whenever I want to post on a bulletin board that has pop-ups to insert images or links, I'm unable to do so without "allowing" pop-ups, at least for that instance. With Google Chrome, I still get pop-up blocking without having pop-ups that I do want to use blocked.

My preference was Firefox. But Netscape is not bad at all.

I have installed Google Chrome and it is OK.

But I now like the Flock browser since I am heavily into Social Media.

Flock is fast, lean and man.

I've used all of the top five browsers mentioned here on my desktop PC running Windows, and I'm currently using the latest version of Safari as my default browser. So far it has worked well only crashing twice. It renders pages as well as the others, feels faster than IE, FF and Chrome. Opera still beats it with its turbo speed but at the expense of the page quality. Surfing the web on Safari is an enjoyable experience, but it lacks full screen browsing, which makes the most of my 15.6 inch laptop screen.

I don't think I will stick to Safari as my defult browser though, its a great piece of software, but I'd rather keep things uncomplicated and simple with Chrome. Chrome is easy to use, fast and utterly simple, whenever I have this debate with my friends I always end up backing Chrome for its user friendliness and simplicity.

As for Opera,I love the turbo function which speeds up browsing and shows you the amount of data it saved you. Opera is a quality browser, but is too complicated for my liking. At the end of it all, none of the top five browsers are perfect, my preference is Google Chrome, but its up to you to test these browsers for yourself to find the one that suites you best.

I thinks this guy is wrong.

"Internet Explorer, the dominant with about 65% of market share"

The best browser is the most preffered for people and it specs, not the one that is installed in most computers. Of course everyone has Internet Explorer installed in their O.S. because most people uses Windows, but that doesn't make it the best.

The best browser ever existed is Mozilla Firefox, because most people install it after installing Windows, from rookies to professionals, is the best option.

Double-check your rating next time.

Cheers ;)

I think google chrome is the best browser now, especially when you use google sites (like youtube,orkut even facebook) frequently.All designs and themes of the site look better in chrome.
Eventhough it is heavy and consumes around 100 MB disc space,its fast, launches easily, got more options,many short keys and gives comfortable browsing experience.

I think Opera 10.00 is the best for speed browsing.opera 10.00 have turbo technology which make it super super faster.

I use Google Chrome, it is BY FAR the fastest browser out there, handles downloads very well, and is very user friendly.
Safari is good though, and Firefox isn't bad, though it is overrated. Personally i don't like the thick bar at the top of IE and Firefox, i like the Safari/Chrome thin bar.

Chrome is the best browser.

Firefox is still the best browser overall. I think that for the majority of the users it covers what they basically need the best. Chrome and Safari both work well, although for some reason I always feel awkward with the button locations in safari. I haven't tried Opera yet, but because of some of the comments here I'm now very interested.
The one thing I have to say though is drop internet explorer! It is slow and just has problem after problem. Although its security has been improved (causing Slowness) It still seems by far the most buggy and complicated to me. Toolbars and favourites all over the web just stick to the navigation bar like dead flies!

Another note, some of the firefox add-ons are terrific! Rain from http://electricbrains.com

I have also used all the above browsers. FF is irrating trying to access google sites. It will lose my login and getting to gmail is a real hassle.
I tried Opera, didn't like the email client and what a hassle importing.
So after trying all of them I tried Maxthon 2.5.10 and for simply browsing the net I really like it. And on my computer, it is just as fast as FF or Chrome.

SeaMonkey is getting better. Chrome may be fast, but google is a SPY-happy company and track EVERYTHING you do online!! They NEVER delete ANYTHING!! I REFUSE to use anything google.

Over the years Firefox has become known as FireF*x! It has become a crash happy resourse pig and with every new release, it gets a little slower and a bit worse.

Opera I can't even keep on my desktop for more than 30 minutes and I find myself uninstalling it! The Opera crew have been working on their browser for YEARS and they STILL haven't gotten it right!! There are so many sites that Opera is NOT compatible with, I just can't keep it on my computer. But I will say one good thing about it... I have always liked their GUI.

Safari is ok... but lacks many features and preferences other browsers contain. It is fast, but I need more than that.

IE7 or 8... I've been using this browser more so of late than any other browser. It has been simply working for me. It does lack some things and is a bit slow, but it doesn't crash nearly as much as FireFox does for me and I have used firfox for years on various computers... same story on all. So, I find myself left with no other choice... IE is it for now and I use SeaMonkey as a secondary browser.

"Chrome is still in beta, and is available only on Windows platforms for now."

Not exactly true.
