the best web-browser

[gchhour]

Ive switched around a lot hahaha. But my primary one that I use now is Firefox.

Chrome.

Why? Incognito Mode.

Safari has a private browsing mode too.

I use chrome. Benchmarks don't lie - it's faster, doesn't hog my RAM (like firefox) - and I was so pissed after Safari losing tabs on top after 4.0beta that I switched. Haven't looked back since. I also hate searching in a standalone search box. The way chrome does everything just seems more efficient to me

I like Safari a lot. But it does seem to play Youtube videos on my 2007 Macbook. It is frustrating and at times I choose to use Google Chrome for a more pleasant experience.

I still like Safari more, but Chrome is a close second. I miss Reader on Chrome. I know there are some extensions, but none of them works as well. Another thing is the integration with MobileMe. My bookmarks and passwords are synced among all of my devices.

SRWare Iron, It's Google Chrome without the google. Namely, It is google chrome without the privacy compromising problems of Google Chrome, I'm not saying that Google Chrome is insecure but it does have MANY privacy issues. I don't trust Google, I dislike trust their privacy policies but i do like their products.

Firefox: The only browser that works well with wide gamut displays. (treat all untagged images as sRGB). Safari/Chrome work faster but make my eyes bleed on my NEC 2690wuxi2

Safari ... if it isn't broke why change?

Multi-computer and multi-platform user here. Since both Chrome and Firefox have means to sync your browser profile (including passwords and bookmarks) across various computers regardless of platform, they're instantly more valuable to me than Safari.

Of late I've used Chrome more than Firefox, but I'm still very impressed with the latest Firefox 4 builds. Speed is negligible between the two, but Chrome wins out with more thorough syncing options and - at least theoretically - better stability with its built-in sandboxing.

I see Internet Explorer 9 and Safari as second-tier browsers that have their own advantages in certain situations.

I can't stand any other browser but Firefox

I used to get by fine with Safari and heard a lot about Safari having issues and glitches, I always used to wonder why people had such a problem with it, it wasn't until I upgraded to Yahoo Mail Beta that I found out that Safari didn't even support it, so I thought what good is a web browser if I can't even use it to check my email?

I have switched to Firefox and haven't had any problems since, on both Mac and PC (using it now)

I have tried out Google Chrome, and I really liked it at first, until I kept getting errors whenever I tried typing in a URL
