    Chrome, Chrome and more Chrome. Nothing better.

    I used to use Firefox but slowly got turned off of it, I've still got it on my computer and the more recent versions are 10 times better than what it was a few years ago (although even that was better than IE).

    Chrome because I am too used to its scrolling, Firefox has this awkward scrolling that makes me want to alt + f4 it. The latest IE just looks weird to me, although it doesn't have that super awkward scrolling effect like Firefox.

    I've always used Chrome for no adequately explained reason.
    363.png
    It's fast, does everything I want it to, has adblock, has Lazarus, and doesn't often crash - plus it's customisable! I'm sure other browsers can do all of this and probably more, and I certainly don't use Chrome to the extent that it's likely designed to be used, but it's always been safe and reliable for me so I'm happy with it. I'd change given a good recommendation, but most people seem to use Chrome too so I see no reason to try yet haha.

    Same reasons as him, I have been using Chrome for years now and it's easy to use. I can do everything I want on it and it has customization options too. I customized mine in a Hatsune Miku background for now, until I find something better.

  • I'm lucky to have a dad working in media and communication because he thought me the existence of Google Chrome. he started using it right when it came out, and then installed it on my computer.

  • Google Chrome, because back then I used to have such a small, laggy laptop. Google Chrome was fast and clutter the screen. Using firefox was a bit laggy with my laptop... and don't get me started on IE, attempting it is hard enough. (No offense to IE users, this was an old IE version haha)

    Now I have a bigger one, but I'm still sticking with Chrome. Its just so simple and does the job.

  • Righ now I preffer Firefox but no so long time ago I was running Chrome and Maxthon a lot. Decided to switch to Firefox cause it is far less laggy for me. But in the end it doesn't really bother me which browser I use (not counting IE).

  • I use Firefox, I prefer it over Chrome as it's more customizable, with so many extensions and what not. The odd time I use Chrome, it's a custom-built version of Chromium, as Google's vanilla browser has privacy issues.

    I use Firefox. Sometimes I use Google Chrome as it is faster in loading videos. I've been using Firefox for 2 years now and I can say that I like it quite a lot. I do find it better then IE too. Overall Google Chrome is good, but i'd stick to FF.

    Chromity Chrome, but it hasn't been as smooth as usual for me lately. I'm considering going back to Firefox...

    Seems like there's a lot of Google Chrome users here. Personally I'm not a fan of it, but to each their own, I guess.

    I actually like using IE10, if only because it's what you can use on a Surface RT... but it's also because it's what tablet web browsers should be. IE, buttery smooth? Yeah, right, it's happening.

    Speaking of IE and Chrome, to all those who switched from IE to Chrome - have you ever thought of giving IE10/IE11 a try on a Windows 7/8/RT/8.1/RT 8.1 machine? While it might not win any benchmarks, I've noticed that it copes well in low memory situations and should handle touch and scrolling better, especially after things have loaded completely.

  • It depends on what I'm using. I use Chrome for most things, browsing the web, reading the news, etc. and I use firefox for cheating on browser-based flash games! :D

    EDIT:
    After reading this thread I decided to give IE10 a try. I like the way it looks and feels, but Chrome is faster for me so I will stick to Chrome.
    Also, more things are compatible with Chrome than are compatible with IE10, so that's another bonus.

    Things like...?

    I'd also like to know what kind of hardware people using Chrome uses, to see whether how fast some browser has in relation to CPU-GPU power balance. I know that when you don't have a lot of CPU power to throw around, I'd rather stick with IE9+.

    Almost every app, website and game is optimized for Chrome.

    Kins of unfortunate that statement is not as simple as you think. It's more of a "does something support what we need" thing. If a site is truly forward, it shouldn't just be optimised for Google Chrome - usually said "optimisation" if done properly should also mean everyone else that's mew enough also gets a nice, optimised experience, as far as the user is concerned.

    I actually like using IE10 for sites that I use a lot, as it pretty much have never let me down. Try going outside of the Chrome App Store - you'd be surprised how you don't need that.
