    The title should say it all. Oh my gosh whenever this comes into discussion you get some interesting people that tend to debate about what is better. I personally just stuck to Mozilla cause it's a bit more easier to use for me. What about you? What do you prefer out of them and if so, why? =u=;

    I use Chrome 95% of the time, and Safari the rest.

    I can see why people gravitate towards Mozilla since it's very similar to Chrome with more personalization features, though I ended up dropping my usage of it right after they partnered with Yahoo! as their main search engine. I've never liked the Yahoo! engine for some reason, so I just stuck with Chrome. Safari gets used, too, though because I have an iPhone. (Don't judge, I got it really cheap, so I chose cheap over coolness and functionality in Samsung.)

    Ever since we got the internet working on my computer years ago (my room needed a phone plug for our ethernet box back then), I've been a FF user. It's especially a very good thing, too, after I heard Chrome had stopped giving XP, Vista, and Mac OS 10 (I think?) updates. Firefox has always made me feel more secure about surfing the web than I would with Explorer, and I do have some helpful addons like Ghostery to reinforce that statement. :D

    I used to use Chrome a 100% of the time but I stopped using it since I found out how amazing Opera actually is
    I really like opera mostly because it manages the resources really well on both my PC and my phone.
    also Opera is able to migrate your browse history , configurations and passwords from chrome and mozilla
    it may not be as customizable as chrome or mozilla but tbh I do feel is a better bowser

    Been through a few browsers over the years but I always find myself returning to good ol' Chrome. It's more responsive than Firefox for sure, even though it can be a resources hog.

    Chrome has been the best one I have used, I used to use Explorer, then mozilla, and now Chrome. It is fastest and most polished of them all.

    I myself have never used Google Chrome. However, I have never seen Google Chrome not crash, so for someone like me that already has problems with crashing browsers, this would not be good.
    I've used Safari, but those were in the days that I was trying to hide my browser history. Now I don't care, and I realise that Safari is just Firefox with more useless add-ons.

    This therefore narrows the choices to Firefox and Explorer. My browser of choice is standardly Firefox, to which I was an adherent since version 2.0. I don't really condone how they handle their updates nowadays, as they tend to get more cluttered and obnoxious, so I turn off the update service, and only update my browser when I want to watch movies with friends over Rabbit (which is, to use an accurate yet very crude term, very anal about having the most up-to-date browser possible, and will forbid access otherwise).

    I use Internet Explorer when at the university, and for various work-related matters, because there are some activities that I must do that do not work on browsers outside of Internet Explorer. However, I use IE only for those purposes, so my use of IE is regulated to either 1) using computers at the university, at which it's actually the best-performing of the 3 browsers there (Safari is not used), or 2) uploading pictures to Tinypic, as apparently Tinypic doesn't like Firefox whatsoever.

    I've been a dedicated user of Google Chrome for probably about 5-6 years, maybe even longer. I find it to the personal best and have enjoyed it, whilst never having problems. I use Firefox occasionally though, since there are some sites I enjoy that can't be accessed through Chrome.

    Firefox most of the time, on this machine it's what I'm currently using and only use. On one of them though I use Chromium because it works better with a couple of things I do on that one than Firefox does. It's the open-source project from which Chrome draws its source code and in turn shares most of the coding and features of Chrome with some minor differences. It's a quality browser, hasn't let me down yet.



    Huh. I have rarely encountered issues uploading with TinyPic on Firefox myself, and when I did encounter issues they were mostly with the TinyPic servers themselves and not my browser. In fact many of the random amusing spammy images I have posted in spambox and game threads were hosted through TinyPic uploaded on this PC via Firefox. Firefox seems weird like that, some things working for some people some times and then not. For example, the site for my bank where I do my online banking like paying bills works perfectly fine on FF on one machine (which actually runs a slightly older version than current) while another with a more current release refuses to load the the account summary page at all when I try to sign in.
    Not technically adept enough to have the answers for that one, guess the Fox is just a little quirky.

    Chrome is the best for me, even though it does have the tendency to crash when I'm uploading stuff on social media ;v; I've also used Safari but I don't really like it

    I used to be a die hard internet explorer fanatic, then I discovered google chrome and firefox. I primarily use chrome along with one other browser that will go undisclosed because it could lead to some... umm... problems for other people depending on where they live. I had to use it to circumvent a lockdown in college just to get my homework done. May have to post some memes to help explain, oh boy...

    Chrome b/c I am too lazy to use anything else and because Google Docs is my life. You may rant about my pathetic idea of 'life' now.

    I use Safari the most, but it's a close call between Google Chrome and Safari. I guess I'll say Safari because I think it works better.
