I prefer FireFox. It's just want I have used for years, and I love it.

Blinded? I don't think so. I used IE for years, then tried FF. It was much faster until a 2-3 second lag developed under specific but common conditions. Tried every fix I could find, still does it. Went to Chrome. it's another level faster, and the integration with Google functions and apps makes it even better.

Well, that all depends on what I am doing.

For general browsing, I use Firefox with Adblock installed. It takes care of pop up ads much better than any plugins I have found for IE. I should use Java Block too but I am just too lazy to figure it out.

For connecting to my pay to click ad sites, I use Google Chrome. Reason being is that I play ad videos in the background with the sound muted for Chrome. Another reason is that Flash sometimes crashes and I have to restart the browser. Since it is a separate process, it is much easier to close and restart it.

I prefer Chrome. The UI is the best imo. I'm sort of surprised that Opera has that many votes.

chrome is fastest for me, so that is what I use. I don't care if Google is tracking me.

Can't anyone use the C-D search function to see the results of the other polls/threads on this exact same question?

Since this occurs at least once a month maybe the mods can make a sticky on the poll.....

Firefox preferred on PC, Safari on a Mac. Prefer Opera over Chrome, but rarely use either anymore.

The main thing about FF has bothered me were the add-ons that I would lose from time to time. I don't know if they have solved that.
