What is your favourite? I like Chrome, but have also used Firefox. I hate Internet Explorer, it is soooooooooo slow, and subject to frequent system crashes.

I'm with you...IE blows!
Firefox is my #1 choice for my browsing needs.

I've never had a problem with Firefox. I will say that I received a free full version of this years Norton antivirus program with something I purchased. I installed it and it was crap with my system. Slowed everything down, everything. I quickly got rid of it.
Safari is supposed to be a good browser as well, but I've never used it.

Internet Explorer just came out with IE9 which is definitely better than the previous versions, although there have been some issues with Flash player recently with it and playing Youtube videos and such. Chrome is by far the best browser, but since it shares proxy settings with Internet Explorer I have been using Firefox when I am not at work. They are both very good browsers.

Just wanted to add here that I had a problem making changes to a blog recently because the whole window was not showing up in Firefox or Chrome. But lo and behold it appeared in Internet Explorer. So hey, credit where it's due.

Firefox isn't all its cracked up to be, I prefer Opera.

I've been using Firefox for a while but I'm not overly thrilled with it. I get the "Firefox not responding" message too often, even although I've cleared out all the add-ons, which they say can cause this. I also kept getting the "An error has occurred" message when I tried to play embedded UTube videos, so I switched to Chrome and they played just fine. I've also noticed it takes a long time for Firefox to finally close down, when I'm trying to shut down the computer for the night.

I`m getting increasingly disillusioned with Firefox. For instance, widgets that don`t display properly in Firefox, are just fine in Internet Explorer!

I've always been a FF fan, IE is too slow.

Just wanted to remind anyone building a website to always check it in other browsers. I've been using Firefox and I forgot to check my site in IE, and oh my was I in for a shock, it was awful. I think I've got it fixed up now, but it took hours.

I've been using Bing. My biggest need right now is for elements that realate to my book. I find with Bing I can ask a question, and the answer pops up within two or three enteries.
