    I've only just recently converted from Internet Explorer to Firefox and I will never go back. It's faster, safer and just plain better than IE. I've had a brief play with Chrome, but it doesn't even come close. Long live Mozilla!

    For the most part I use Safari, I find it works the best all around. BUt besides that I use ole IE. Tried Firefox a few times as I always hear good things about it but just didn't see what all the fuss was over, and found it didn't work all that well... not sure why.

    I've been using Chrome since they released it. So far it's fairly reliable. The only problem I've found is when posting forms I get a lot of Safari errors. And it can sometimes be slower than Firefox when visiting the same page.

    I'm going to give IE8 Beta a go though!

    I heard that Google were pushing manufacturers to use Chrome on the companies pre-built computers. They need to sort out a few problems before doing so I think.

    The best thing about Firefox i feel is the user applications. There are so many which have saved me a lot of time when doing things. Like the colour picker for example. Or the universal print tool (prints all tabs open).

    I hope Google do something similar with Chrome

    Read the google chrome EULA. Aparently there are some 'interesting' terms that g*^gle wants you to agree to.

    I must say I really like Chrome's functionality. However the lack of plugins is a major negative.

    I'll be sticking with Firefox until Google starts adding plugins.

    I'll be sticking to firefox, though I have a very big problem of it being a resource hog..

    Firefox has a lot of useful plugins, both by firefox and custom plugins.. and it will take some serious period of time till the chrome plugins are developled and distributed..

    However it would also be nice to see Firefox adopt some of Chrome's functionality e.g. privacy browsing.

    Be very careful of Chrome privacy browsing, that part of the browser doest seems to protect your computer from malicious file from download to your computer...
