Best Browser..?

[g0dfather]

I am sure this has been posted multiple times on this giant forum but I am far too lazy to do some research.

I am a huge Firefox lover and can not stand Opera or Internet Explorer.

But according to this link, I should actually be using Opera because it's the "best."

Any advice? What's your favorite browser?

I've been using firefox for years as my preferred browser, and I'll continue to use it

Google Chrome is my default browser. I prefer it to Firefox for speed and screen real estate and of course it's WAY faster than IE. (yes I know, what isn't?)

Firefox FTW.

IE8, Firefox on the Mac, considering switching to Chrome.

Same thing here as well. I have been using FF since severals years now and I have been/am very happy with it.

Was an avid FF user, but got the taste of chrome and I love it.

...considering switching to Chrome.

I've been a die-hard Firefox fanboy for years, but I'm considering the same move. The only two things holding me back right now are:
1. Chrome doesn't yet have a web developer toolbar that comes close to the one available for Firefox.
2. It doesn't support Roboform, which is a must for me.

I know there are some built-in features for password and form filling, so I could probably learn to live without Roboform; but I really want a robust web dev toolbar to work with.

As far as I know they have some sort of firebug for chrome now. I am only considering it on the mac since firefox has been a bit weird and laggy as of late.

Opera is the best, using it for years now, before it was firefox, IE is the worst of all beside safari.

I do like Opera, but the sole reason I'll never use it as my default browser is because it has never - even to this day- correctly rendered a certain piece of code that I wrote years ago. The code is perfectly W3C compliant, works on all other browsers, including as far back as IE5, right up to Chrome's latest, and yet Opera doesn't/won't/can't process it correctly; even in Opera 10.5. That tells me I can't trust it to display my work as I intend it, so even though I use it for testing, it will never be my main choice as long as that piece of code doesn't work.

Yes, I reported it many times, but nothing has ever been done, which is not only sad but completely baffling.

Chrome has a nice integrated debugging tool however still not on the same level with Firebug. I personally use Chrome when i am surfing and use Firefox & Chrome during development. Chrome is way faster compared to Firefox and uses less system resources.

Fire Fox Public R, it has issues, but there few and minor.. It/s fast, skinnable, i find the skins will lag you, and have never found one worth using anyways.. Overall, its the best i have used ..

I like the WebKit rendering engine best, so I tend to use either Safari or Chrome. I like the extensions of Firefox, but now that Chrome has extensions, I find myself using Firefox less and less. I find Safari 4 to be a very quick browser, but it's quite limited on Windows. At least on Mac OS X you can use some third-party plugins like Saft and 1Password to make it a bit more useful.
