| Just wondered what browser you guys are using these days? I'm totally into Chrome for the speed, interface, preferences and app thingy. |

I'm still using Safari because it integrates so well with 1Password. I do think Chrome is a faster, better, more reliable browser but it is awkward for sites that require a login. _________________ http://skeptichosting.com/

| I switched to Chrome when it sort of hit the mainstream because I was having so many issues with Safari 4 at the time. I have't looked back since then. I just think Chrome is the best browser on the market. After Chrome, I would say that Firefox comes in second. |

Safari,
I'm not a fan of Google, they make their money advertising so I'm not comfortable using their products. Its like having built in Spyware. So I make a point not to use Chrome and very rarely use gmail etc. _________________ Phil

I use Firefox 4 across all operating systems. I hate to say this, but I'm also a little impressed with IE9 in Windows 7. It's really fast.  |

Safari for me. I still like the way it handles your bookmarks and history over the competition. It's also pretty darn snappy. _________________ 1.42GHz Mac mini

| I was starting to use chrome more for browsing. Although it is quicker than Firefox it seems far more likely to stall on slightly delayed server responses. Firefox maybe a little slower, but it seems to always get there in the end. |

That has be debunked many times over. I totally feel comfortable using Chrome. It's the best browser out there in my book. You certainly can't say it's slow. |

I'm sure Apple is an upstanding and honest company!
I'm still a Firefox fan, across all platforms. _________________ G4 Mac Mini | 1.25ghz | 1gb | 40gb | OS X 10.4.11 | 37" Westinghouse HDTV

I alternate between Safari and Firefox, but selected Safari in the poll. Just because I probably use it a little more. _________________ 1.42GHz Mac mini
