Currently I'm using Chrome exclusively, but Firefox 4 will probably level the playing field again. And of course Internet Explorer 9. 

What I like most about Chrome is the reduced graphical interface - no need for a full screen mode. My only complaint: The bookmarks bar is always visible - there should be a way to hide it. I also like the way IE 9 maximises the space by combining adress input fields and tabs in one row.

I've never given Chrome a proper try I might download it later but I stick by Safari usually, the tab and window management can't be beaten

I'm giving Chrome a try, and it seems to be running much more smoothly on my machine than Firefox has lately. Smile

I switched from IE to Chrome last night. Chrome is my favourite.

I had to switch back to Firefox - the inconvenients on Chrome were minor, but decisive. It didn't let me properly use the ReadItLater add-on, it didn't have a sepparate field for address bar and google search, it didn't let me open from the bookmarks another website in the same tab, the bookmarks display was stupid and the reclining sides of the tabs annoyed me a lot. I miss the functioning spell-check, though.

Well, I finally bit the bullet today, and downloaded Chrome. I'm typing this on the browser now, and am one happy bunny.

CPU usage finally back to where it should be and a far quicker and happier computer.

It's a shame, because I really liked Firefox, and my wife hates change on the PC, but I really couldn't carry on with taking minutes to carry out the most basic task.

Web browsers?  I don't use them at all.  I am doing all this through the power of thought. Tongue

SRWare Iron, although it's basically a lighter and safer version of Chrome.


And Firefox users, you should try the PaleMoon browser. It's exactly like FF but revamped for better performance.

Yeah, I'm the same, and Alex also mentioned this.

I really prefer Firefox to IE, but my CPU usage is now regularly running at 100%, and I have tried all sorts of fixes and solutions. The fact is that it is FF that is causing this, and if it carries on, I will just have to stop using it.

I use Internet Explorer.
 
But I also have Google Chrome which is actually much better, but I'm lazy to click on it.

I'm back on Firefox, as I couldn't get Tinychat to work properly on Chromium.

Firefox. Even though it seems to soak up an average of 300mbs of my RAM, I still prefer it to anything else I've used.
