Ubuntu > Winblows 7 :)

Linux Mint Felicia, derivative of Ubuntu's Intrepid Ibex, it's truly beautiful *sheds a tear*
But, as to browsers, it so incredibly CHROME! Yes! Launch speed is ten times better then Firefox, i drool over the default theme, loading speed is great, arguably more secure, incognito mode can be useful feeling lazy, no add on can TOUCH the integrated url bar in chrome, it's scary good. Easier, faster, safer, chrome =]

(I'd just pay for some customization/user content. But it's made by Google, so it's gold =P)

I will switch to Chrome once it has Xmarks and Adblock Plus. The Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug would be nice too. ^_^

Xmarks == what?
Adblock plus, I see your point (Though when i was a ff user i disabled it, it got annoying =P)
Firebug omgosh YES, if you're doing development, just launch in ff =P (Although check out chrome's "Inspector", it's a pretty neat clone of Firebug)
Web Developer Toolbar I'm also not familiar with.
But for browsing, gaming, email, forums, SEARCHING/RESEARCH, and general speed, Chrome ftw ^_^

Mozilla all the way.

This says it best:


Ironically, on my Windows partition, I have IE8 only because I never use Windows anymore. I need to get firefox though...

Question; Am I the only one who still uses Firefox 2.* , instead of whatever 3.* the newest version is?

Where's the love for Sarfari? I may have to switch to Google Chrome seeing as it's extremely fast.

Maybe it'll help poor cox internet.

I use Google Chrome. I prefer it's minimalist interface to firefox, and the speed is comparable. It feels a little more stable as well. Firefox is still fantastic, of course, but aesthetics means a lot to me.

I also use Chrome. It's fast, as compared to Firefox on my laptop. I know that Firefox has taken customization over-the-top, and I respect that, but still, I think Chrome is overall, the best, safest, and most unique, (in a good way), browser of them all.

Well, I fell into pressure and tried Chrome! It's like lightning.Like 1 second to load! I love it! Only thing is, it really could use some mare features. Love the themes though. Starry night is beautiful!

I just got Chrome and it's pretty fast; I like it for the same reasons others mentioned. Ironically, the one site Chrome seems to struggle with is gmail. lol

Chrome, it's beautiful and noticeably faster than anything else I've used.
Also I use Chrome because one day my Firefox just died, when I open it there is a white screen and that's all it doesn't load pages.. Thats when I switched.

so what's the deal with Chrome. We'd installed it when it first came out but it had like, compatibility issues, has it improved at all? I still like Firefox, having been a Netscape fan, having been a Mosaic fan.
