Before, I normally use Internet explorer as my default browser. Though sometimes I feel that it is slow, still I continued to use it. My friends and I talked about our browsers and they advised me to try firefox. In using it, I observed that it is faster and I became more comfortable in using it. Recently I tried to download the Google Chrome beta version, but I was really amazed! It is simple but a lot faster. Now, Google chrome is my default browser! How about you? What browser are you using? Are you comfortable with it? Can you tell me some advantages and disadvantages with browser based on your experience?

Hi there I think browsing speed doesn't depends on the browser that we use. I think it depends on how fast is our internet connection.

Honestly, I don't agree with that. Our browser gets cookies and temporary files too that are saved on the browser. This is even the reason why sometimes we are just surprised that we can't even browse anything because it is already corrupted. As a technical support agent for an Internet service provider, we always need to optimize the browser before troubleshooting for possible issue with the server.

I prefer to use Mozilla Firefox browser than IE or GC. I like the efficiency of FireFox.Even though I am using all these browsers, FireFox is my most favored browser.

I personally Prefer Firefox and It's Been My Favourite Over Last 2 Years but i think chrome is catching the race followed By IE8 but still firefox tops the Speed Race and its the best browser with some friendly options Unlike IE8 which is a bit difficult to operate.

really i don't know, i use internet explorer 8 and it's realy fast, but it's not so fast on my sister's pc, beacause her computer is old and a weak, my pc is powerful so IE goes fast in every condition, i think that it's not only the typo of browser but it depends on 90% on the power of your pc.

All of the above without regards to Internet Explorer. May be the default web browser, but darn, it's the worst browser in history. For that matter, a programming-illiterate person could do better than internet explorer so as to make a browser.

Well, I prefer using Firefox, cause there are some features online that can be viewed in Firefox and not in IE. In terms of speed, firefox is faster as well, but I think it'll still depend on the connection.

My default browser is firefox. I do not know which is really faster, I think the site that you open will also matter. But in my case, I am more comfortable with firefox. I have tried other browser from Internet explorer, opera, avant, and safari. Though I use some of them from time to time, its the firefox that I use more often.

There is no doubt that firefox is the best browser in terms of speed & security. So I prefer to use firefox most of the time.

maybe you could try opera,especially if you network is slow,opera could help you faster,if you are a developer, you should use firefox,

I have been using Firefox for last 1 year without having any problem and with good speed. The good thing about that it does not crash too often in the middle of loading a page. After having tried all popular browsers like IE, Chrome, Safari(from Apple), Opera and obviously FireFox, I have come to the decision that Firefox is best for me. Though I also agree to the fact that if you have a fast Internet connection, any browser will act fast, but there are definitely some differences which make every browser unique in their own place.
