Internet Browsers

Which one do you prefer or consider to be the best?

Firefox. Gotta love those addons (like the one in my sig).

You--
You stole my conversation on the Chatbox and turned it into a topic to profit from.
Well played.
Anyway, I use Firefox.

Google Chrome.

Last time I tried Firefox it crash my computer.
IE however is faithful.
I don't know about Google Chrome, but I really don't want to uninstall and reinstall the plugins.

I like Firefox, the best, it's what I use all the time. Internet Explorer always freezes my computer.

Wow, I feel like I've read all these posts already...
Internet Explorer, although Firefox's theme thing is winning me over.

You guys use Internet Explorer?

The lowest of the low for internet browsers?

Firefox. Totally customizable, easier to do more stuff, and less suseptable to viruses compared to IE.

Don't you mean Safari or Netscape?

Yeah, sure, why not?

How come?

I like Firefox. Why? Let's see...

My top and bottom bars have only precisely what I want; buttons I don't use were removed by me using a simple drag-and-drop system that comes built in.
I don't see any ads unless I want to.
I know the IP of the proxy I'm using and that of the site I'm connecting to through said proxy by a mere glance at the bottom-right corner of my screen.
I have a royal purple-colored theme that I can change in just a few seconds by using in the bottom-left corner.
I can find out the color code of any pixel on this page with a button next to that one.
I know how long it took to load this page: 4.167 seconds, massively better than IE, which quite literally takes minutes to load whenever I use it.
I can left-click a button next to the bookmark page button to look up this site on geotool and see that the server in which it is hosted is in Dallas, Texas. I can middle-click this same button to look up this site on WhoIs and find out many other things. Right-clicking gives me even more options that I shall not list here.
I can open and close my toolbars just by right-clicking and selecting which ones I want to open, and I can open the only one I actually use other than the main one with a single click on the little gear icon.
I can auto-hide my tab bar, and put it on any side of the window I want. It is currently on the left side. Further, my tabs are sorted like a file tree, allowing me to know why I opened a certain tab and from what tab I opened it.
I have one menu bar to rule them all, one menu bar to find them, one menu bar to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.
I can make this site or any site look however I please in my own browser without changing a thing for anyone else.
I can organize my browsing space effectively with scalable frames and pinnable mini-windows within the actual window, which can be set to have their own tabs and tab-bars within themselves.
All I have to do is highlight text and click one of the little buttons that automatically pop up to search for that text on Google, Wikipedia, Wiktionary, YouTube, and, should I so choose, many other sites.
The File, Edit, View, etc. menus are all put in one menu to save more space on the only top menu bar I currently have or need, (save for the web developer toolbar, which can be toggled at the click of a button to save precious viewing space that tends to get eaten up in browsers like IE when you have just a few toolbars installed.) which has everything neatly organized in one place, saving me a good inch of viewing space.
I can view my browsing history since the moment I last cleared it.
I can protect tabs so I don't accidentally close them when my crappy laser mouse decides to spaz out on me, or just by a slip of the hand. I can also lock tabs so that I don't accidentally navigate away from them by clicking the left mouse button instead of the middle one.
And most importantly, if I decide to go with something completely different for browsing the net, it would take all of five minutes to uninstall everything and start over, and probably less than thirty minutes to find everything that fits my new idea of a perfect set of add-ons for FF.

So?
IE has advantages.

name one.

I use Firefox myself, but it's annoying when it uses so much of my memory, and is so sensitive to electrical fluctuations that it crashes at every milliamp variance!

Sometimes thing require you to use IE.

Crashed my computer plenty of times.

Simplicity? It takes a confirmation just to change my homepage.

Yeah, less bandwidth usage, but still very laggy.

I prefer FireFox.

Firefox works pretty well for me, only because I like the look of it and it tends to be faster. However, there's not really that much of a difference otherwise in performance.

Not much of a difference? Download fasterfox, ya foo'.
