Who has the best web browser? IE vs FF vs Chrome

[coolv1994]

Recently Microsoft has released a new browser, Internet Explorer 9, which is still in beta testing. Their new UI is like Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome put toghter in one amazing browser, but that is my opinion. So what I'm asking is which is your prefered browser; Firefox, Chrome, or Internet Explorer? And if you haven't tried the IE9 Beta, I would suggest you do I found it to be one of the best web browsers yet. You can download here.

Well, you've essentially given us a biased poll by missing out a proportion of the market who use Opera or Safari etc.
Anyway, I haven't had much time for testing IE 9, but from first impressions it is considerably better than previous versions, although the rendering of pages is still a little quirky in places. I still don't see it as a viable platform that I would consider moving to use on any basis beyond testing of sites (Plus I have to boot into a different OS just to run it properly).

I use Chrome the majority of the time. I have Firefox installed and consider it a very good Browser and I also have Opera installed though I very seldom use it. Neither IE nor Safari or options for me at the present time due to Ubuntu OS.

Useless Fact:
There are more chickens than people in the world.
(So I have been told)

Lol I completely forgot about Safari and Opera, but I guess you could count that as other.

Ever since Google Chrome hit the market it's all I have been using, due to the fact that each browser tab runs it's own process. This is good for me due to the shear amount of sites that break on me from doing Technical Support, etc. Before when a site took down Firefox, I lost all my work, sometimes 40+ tabs as I multitask a lot. Now with Google Chrome, if a specific tab crashes I don't loose all my work, makes me more productive, more productive keeps Corey away and the world is happy.

I would like to see other browsers move to this system to in the future, as it's a great way to save a lot of work.

Internet Explorer 8+ also has the isolated tabs feature, though it doesn't isolate plugins like Chrome does.

Firefox 3.6.4+ just has isolated plugins for now.

I'm currently using Firefox 4.0 Beta 6 regularly and I'm quite comfortable with it.

I also have Chrome running, but I prefer Firefox's Firebug over Chrome's web developer tools as well as AdBlock Plus for Firefox. There doesn't seem to be a real ad "blocker" for Chrome, only hiders.

I've been testing Internet Explorer 9 recently and I'm quite impressed with it, except having tabs on the same row as the address bar makes things really cluttered as I don't have a widescreen monitor.

Google chrome is no doubtly the best web browser. it may not have many options like firefox and IE has. But for fast browsing chrome is the best...................................

I prefer Firefox because it loads faster and has less problems than IE. If a website does cause it to crash all the current tabs can be selected on the next time the browser is opened. Just quickly close the tab that caused the problem.

Chrome is fine, but did not catch my attention enough for long use.

Chrome is fast loading,i like it..

Well let me just say straight up that I do not trust Google. This could be the reason why I like Firefox. Also, the extensions that it has for developers is amazing. I like the firebug extension the best. It helps me find new ideas for my own websites. Also, it has become quite fast. I remember the days of the first Firefox and it was quite slow. Their framework has become quite amazing and so has the speed. Yes, there are other web browsers that do certain things better but Firefox has been great for me.

Another thing Firefox has going for it is the fact that it is a standards compliant browser. It is up to speed with CSS3 and HTML5 whereas Internet Explorer is still horrible with both. I realize that neither of these have become a standard but they are still useful, especially for web developers.

Well I think that is all I really do have to say on this fact but if anyone has anymore thoughts then go ahead.
