I have customized Firefox to the nth degree and make it far better than Google Chrome. IE is way behind the metrics in every aspect.

I prefer Chrome...
Firefox gave me a ton of errors. My brother calls IE Internet Exploder. I call it trash. I have tried many browsers. I find that Chrome gives me less headaches.

I like Chrome too, because it seems fast and has that attractive, minimalist UI.
There have been rare instances when a web service did not behave well with Chrome, but worked fine with Firefox. When I open Firefox now, the UI looks out of date, and it does not seem as fast as Chrome. |

You basically need to know about:config settings in the browser.
Use duck duck go as your search engine and you would be able to find out more about this. As for the UI, use themes. In the past 1 year I have not encountered any problems with it. I am using the Linux version. |

Hmm...?
I might download FF as a secondary browser. If it doesn't bork on me again.. that is.

I'll second that, so is Opera.
IE is okay, I just don't like the look of it. The buttons are too small. Opera works well on my XP netbook but I don't like the transparency on win7 and most of the themes don't work on the latest version. I use Firefox 4 on my home PC, with a solid grey persona to get rid of the transparency. Chrome is far too basic, and the buttons are too small. |

I switched to Firefox a few years back, and very glad I did. Shame I didn't do it earlier. I prefer the way the tabs work for one thing. Only really used Chrome a few times, and I find it a bit too minimalistic. To each his own.

Firefox is getting slower over the years. IE hasn't changed. Chrome is slowly moving ahead. Opera is useless. It still fails to load certain pages.
