Google chrome, looks the nicest,works the best,most fluid, fastest, doesnt crash (ie), most customization, i like how you just log in and it transfers all your bookmarks and everything.

 

btw you didnt say why.

 

I had never heard of rockmelt and its really cool i will keep it in mind :D

I use chrome.

 

I used to use opera some compatibility issues came up. I still have it and it works fine.

 

I tried firefox many times but each time, I didn't like it for some reason. I still keep it around and my school uses it so I use it when I'm there.

 

I use internet explorer when newegg bugs up and won't load for me in chrome and for when I need to visit my school's website. It's actually a decent browser and I can imagine a reboot making it more popular than chrome.

 

Edit: I'm surprised this isn't a poll.

Added a poll for you.

 

Personally I use Chrome due to it being easy to have bookmarks spread across 3 devices and the Firefox as well as my secondary browser for mainly forum testing or Dreamweaver. 

Thanks windspeed for adding the poll :)

 

My favorite Browser of choice is Firefox, I love how much you can customize everything with it, and you can get tons and tons of add-ons,that you can't get with any other browser.

Chrome, because like apple products, it just works, also the speed and layout are nice.

Chrome now. It's fastest browser, plus bookmarks sync makes it very useful. I used Opera in the past, it has best downloading system, but it's little slow on startup, so my vote for Chrome!

I primarily use Chrome and sometimes FireFox. I would use Chrome for everything if it had a better way of handling tabs, worked better with flash and had a better way of dealing with file downloads - but until then, I need to use multiple browsers.

Firefox is an awesome browser because of the massive customization which it had before customization was cool (before chrome existed). I think there is also bookmark sync on FF, although you use it slightly differently to chrome. It's really useful having tab groups because I have about 75 tabs open apparently at the moment (I'm shocked too) (html reference stuff, C++ reference stuff, stuff for a website I'm working on etc) but only 26 on my main group. With that many tabs, it's really handy to have them only load when I click on them rather than having 75 tabs load when I turn on my computer. I use chrome from time to time though - It's infinitely better than IE, which is awful to develop for.

I changed back to firefox because chrome started to crash on my computer for some reason.

Those bastards are shutting down Rockmelt, EOL is soon. I hate them with all my heart.

Since Rockmelt is getting close to EOL I use Chrome for general browsing and then Firefox for some more specific things.

I use firefox mostly, but when I'm on the german sites I use chrome because of its auto-translating ^^
