Which browser do you prefer?

[Abs]

Internet has become a part of our daily lives now, most of us would never imagine a day without it these days. From checking a website to an email, we use some form of

browser to access it from a PC/ laptop.

Over the past years, users have been trying new browsers so they can explore new features and capabilities. Which particular browser do you prefer and why?

Some research conducted by Mashable

PS: My favourite is Chrome

Well certainly Chrome is performing much better than Firefox on my 7 year old XP laptop with 1Gb RAM

Chrome all the way with Firefox as back up. Hate IE as takes ages and there's too much going on at the top of the page for my liking (admittedly not tried IE9 though so things may have improved)

I really like Chrome. Only started using in within the last 12 months.

Previously I had always used Firefox, but a while back Firefox started taking ages (30 seconds or so) to load up, tried everything to sort it out but to no avail.

So I then started to use Chrome and I really like it. I find it very fast, loads quickly and it very, very rarely crashes.

I also use Safari quite a bit too, probably 60% Chrome, 40% Safari. I like to use Safari has I can add webpages to Reading List on my iPhone, iPad and then continue reading them on Safari on my PC. I can also add webpages to Safari on my PC and continue reading them on Safari on my iPhone, iPad too.

Opera is main browser, alternatively I use Firefox.

Same as Fatboy. Used to love FF, but switched over to chrome. Mainly because of the integration of services, decent syncing across devices and great interaction with other apps.

I've recently also started using Chrome on my 4s. Not completely happy with that yet though.

I gave Chrome on my iPad and 4S a try but didn't like it. I found it a bit slow compared to Safari, but this is because Apple don't let Google have access to the JavaScript engine that Apple uses for Safari.

Also I use iCloud to keep my bookmarks synced with Safari for my iPhone, iPad and Safari on my pc. And Chrome didn't have this functionality.

I have been using Chrome for over 12 months with Firefox / Arora as back up, however the most recent version of Firefox on some web sites clocks up quicker than Chrome.

Funnily enough GMail is one of them so maybe Mozilla have realised they have been lacking.

Since Microsoft have been nicking Firefox features IExp has improved in the last couple of versions but not enough to make me start using it.

The main thing about Firefox is that it is not interested in collecting information about your browsing habits, unlike some others.
