I loled

Also Omie that's because IE has smooth scrolling enabled by default, just disable it in the options.

Firefox for me. I love the add-ons and the fact that you can personalize it. IE sucks. It lags all the time, I constantly get pop-ups.

Fifefox all the way, mainly because I can theme it and because IE8 is constantly crashing on me.

I think we can safely say that Chrome competes with Firefox now as the best and fastest web browser.

This is what happened to me. But when Chrome was in beta stages I hated it since it crashed a lot and also didn't have a home button, which is essential for me.

I'm also a fan of Chrome. I use Chrome for most web browsing but it I DO miss quite a few Firefox features (especially adblock and flashblock).

And one of the benefits of Chrome - each tab is a process - can also be a downside since each tab is individually stored to virtual memory so when you open up Chrome after not using it in a while, each tab can take, individually, a while to pull from the HD into RAM. With Firefox they're all pulled in one go. This is a fairly minor issue, though.

I use Firefox and Chromium (It's what Chrome is based off)

Internet Explorer is horrible in so many ways. I don't know where to start, If you like Internet Explorer over Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. then you have problems
