The best web browser?

My favorite browser is Opera/Opera Next. It's really fast, and I get the best performance out of flash games in it.

I still use Firefox a lot, though.

Pale Moon. A fork of Firefox maintained by a sensible developer, rather than the desperate morons in charge at Mozilla who only care about market share.

Opera used to be great too, but the bastardised Chrome skin its become is an abomination.

Opera 12.17

I generally use my eyes

i haven't been able to stop using opera 12, which is discontinued and without significant updates for more than a year and a half.
Heavy scripted pages suffer on it, for now i keep the new chropera around for the bigger abusers, and to enjoy some chrome extensions not available in old opera

I use Comodo Dragon (based on Chromium) because of the additional security measures.

I switched long time ago from Firefox to Chrome. Feels lightweight, really.

Opera 12, but switched to Firefox (the absence of updates is a pretty bad thing).

Chrome, Tor(Firefox)

Opera

Recently switched to Chrome from Firefox.

Mostly because I got tired of Firefox getting slower over time, having to re-install every now and then to fix it was getting old. Chrome doesn't seem to have that problem. It also has far better online sync options, so using the browser on several computers is a lot easier with Chrome.

That said... still do miss some of the customization of Firefox, especially a few extensions and better theming options.

I do get that chrome is a tad bit faster, i do prefer it above IE, but i prefer the more robust FF. Some Updates are broken and annoying, but they quickly fix them.

Chrome Master Race

Whatever works for you and does what you need it to. The browser wars are pointless, for the most part. I use Firefox just because last time I used Chrome I couldn't find a plugin/extension that can scoop and download EVERY embedded flash video.

I use Chrome for youtube and to mess with the html5 player on it and Firefox for daily web browsing.

Chrome!

I prefere Opera for home use and Firefox for work.

Opera

I used IE once ( to download chrome ) :3
Chrome ftw!

I switched back to Opera (v22), been having a pretty good experience. Sadly some extensions won't work even forced, but it's doing almost exactly what I need.

1) Chrome
2) Firefox

Long time Firefox user but some years ago Chrome got quite good.

The 'problem' with Google is that they have stupidly large funds to make stuff. Hell, taking pictures of the entire road network of the world is one feat not many companies aren't willing to spend upon (and make it free).

Same way they have gathered quite a good team behind Chrome and thrown funds at it so it would get better. Chrome for example recently more or less became a mini-OS, I don't agree with this feature but you can disable it, so it won't keep your RAM busy. They optimized the shit out of Chrome, Google is good with such mindless "must beat competition" reasoning if they have a goal in place.

Also all the other nifty features like automatic updates, treating each tab as a separate process (and crash separately), better integration with other Google products, integrated flash updates.

I remember I really liked to visually customize Firefox, but I customized Firefox to look like Chrome anyway so that's that.

So a long term Firefox user who jumped ship as Chrome started becoming comparable in terms of extensions and speed.

Pale Moon, classy as hell. Then Internet Explorer, pretty ok since Inori Explorer.
