Guys for the past few weeks I have been using google chrome and its really wonderful !! But I really miss my addons on firefox !! I switched to chrome because my firefox used to hang when ever i tried ti open for a few minutes !! I was having hard time with firefox !! I have also tried apple's safari, internet explorer ( that was good old days which are gone now :D ) and also opera !! Google chrome loads real fast and I love the feature of task manager and one thread per tab !! which means even if one of your tab crashed your browser will not !! And the Incognito window is real cool !!Currently is my default browser and I am loving it :)
What is your favorite browser and why ?? Are you planning on switching to other browser ? What are all the browsers you have used till now ??

I prefer FireFox. I tend to open a lot of tabs at a time. Firefox handles most of what I throw at it. I used to use Internet Explorer but after some of the upgrades it keeps crashing on me. I don't like the way Internet Explorer handles multiple open tabs. I suppose it is a preference thing.

I still use mozilla firefox and I enjoy using it. I heard a lot good things about chrome. But I not sure want to change or not. Can you give me advice about should I use chrome? I have no problem in using mozilla firefox. So far, I enjoy myself using it.

I am using Mozilla Firefox ever since and really like it. The add-ons were quite great and like how I can manage my search engines. Although there are times that it crashed, it was okay since it got an option of restoring the previous session. So far, it is my favorite browser, I am satisfied with it's performance.

Wow bsa! if I’m not wrong, you have tried more than 5 web browsers so far, right? Finally you have found your favorite one
I had used Internet Explorer for over twenty years or so. Though I have shifted to Mozilla Firefox for more than a year, I still keep the former one in my computer. In case the web browser I’m using currently facing any difficulty, I still have another for temporary use.
Anyway I love firefox for it fast speed as well as its feature. Unlike you, so far I have used two different browsers only.
posting and have a nice day.

I have used IE and Firefox, but my current favorite is Safari. It loads much faster than either IE or Firefox. I had also been having the problems you mentioned with Firefox hanging up when I tried to start it - or even sometimes when I would open a new tab or window. I really like Safari the best. I have used Opera, but was not as fond of it. I do like the add ons with Firefox though. LOL

It has to be Internet Explorer 7 for me! This is the latest web browser from Microsoft. I personally haven't had any problems with it. My computer is fast, my web-browsing is very fast and I'm just so pleased. I have not tried any other browsers. I know that some people are unhappy with Internet Explorer, I'm not sure why though. I regularly maintain my computer and I know how to tweak Internet Explorer for my own benefit. I will remain with Internet Explorer 7 until it is updated once more by Microsoft. Andrew

I switch between Internet Explorer and Firefox. I mainly use FF right now. If a website doesn't work well on FireFox, I will go to Internet Explorer and use that. However, IE adds so many cookies and cache to my computer that I only end up using it for a short time before my browser slows down. With FireFox, no matter how much cache it has on it, it still goes pretty fast. I've only tried FireFox and IE, and so far, FireFox will always remain my main browser.

I use only Opera for last 2-3 years. And internet explorer sometimes, like for MyLot and Hotmail(i cant open it on Opera). Long ago, i used Firefox, i remember i liked it very, very much. But now Opera is my 1st choise, im used on it and it has all sercises i things i neeed for being on internet. And no, im not planing to change it anytime soon; when i stick with something i usually use it quite a long time, im that kind of person
