Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari are the most known web-browsers.
Which one do you use?

I use Google Chrome because it's smooth, fast, and looks good.

Chrome. So much faster than Internet Explorer.

Hasn't this thread already been made?

That's very, very likely.
Also, what's a poll, lol?

Chrome is sexy smooth. Rest is clunky ugh.

IE, just for convenience's sake. That said, I'm going to change right now to Firefox, seeing as I've just been putting it off, to be frank.

I use Google Chrome because they told me about their new features in webcomic form.

Firefox, until Chrome gets the Ad-block Plus extension.

Firefox 3.

Firefox 3! I'm a humble fan of Mozilla.

Using Firefox 3. Not only because of super special add-ons and sexiness (yes, Firefox is sexier than Chrome, in my opinion), but because IT DOES HAVE A FULLSCREEN MODE THAT CHROME DOES NOT HAVE.

I tried IE 8, and that is really really ugly, at least in XP.



Chrome looks... too... empty? =/




EDIT: and I'm too a Firefox fan since the day I met it.

Chrome is sexy, but a little too stripped down.

Default IE for Vista. I'm too lazy to change. I use Firefox for runescape and thats it.

That's pretty much me, too, though I doubt Google would develop something to block their ads.

FFox3.0.6

A mixture of firefox and konqueror (yeh, go look it up ignorant people :P). Konqueror is using webkit though, so it's pretty much like chrome rendering and rendering speed though.

chrome not having adblock = fail though. You can set it up with a proxy afair but it's too much effort in my opinion.

All you IE users are the bane of my web development / AJAX existence. I guess you guys will just have to miss out on all the awesomeage that comes out (like J/ADORE, an ajax angband variant i'm working on with my brother). Just as an example of IE's awesomeness, in firefox you can smoothly move around with ~1000 monsters. In IE, it's not smooth with none. (Oh and did you know IE doesn't even fully support javascript standards that came out pre 2000? :( )

I'd consider using Chrome if they added quicksearches. My entire web browsing experience centers around quicksearches in Opera (and Firefox, but I don't use FF often).

Chrome has a section in its preferences where it asks you what you would like to use for your default search engine. After you have that set you can either press ctrl+k or just type "?<search terms>" in the address bar and it will do a quick search. At least, I think that's what you mean.

Not exactly, but it turns out Google added what I was looking for right in that area. When I say quicksearch, I mean typing "g ducks" into the address bar and being pointed to a Google search on ducks, typing "wiki Chicago Fire" to go to that Wikipedia article, "imdb The Wrestler" to go to that movie's page, etc. In Chrome now, you can go to that default search area, click Manage, and set keywords and search URLs to do just that.

Neat. Also, I'm in the majority. :)

Jeez, Google Chrome is above even Opera? I expected about that list but with Chrome below Safari.
Maybe I should take another look at Chrome...

Okay, I've made the more or less permenant switch to Firefox 3, and I doubt I'll ever regret it. Everything just, works better and looks cooler.

Added a poll for pleasure of yours'.

You could use AdSweep.

I use Opera.
