    Just because I hate change I have been an IE user for the past 15 years however, when I finished building my first PC over Christmas I installed Chrome and I am starting to love it.

    Re: what browser to use

    Having tried most of the main browsers, I've stuck with Opera.

    Don't see myself changing

    Re: what browser to use

    I use Chrome for everyday use these days. I stopped using Firefox at around version 2 or 3 when it had a massive memory leak problem. I'd imagine that's since been fixed but have been left using Chrome since then. I find myself using Firefox (whatever version it is on the day) for sites that don't work in Chrome.

    What's Opera like these days? I've not used it since version 8 ish.

    Re: what browser to use

    I use Chrome as well. Firefox seems to have the best extensions - though Chrome is catching up, but as P5 said, the memory leak situation made it too slow.

    I tried Firefox again about 8 months ago, but still found this to be a problem, so ended up going back to Chrome.

    Just need Chrome to add an extension to change between themes, and I'll be happy!

    I've given up on Chrome; too many websites not working properly. Gone back to FF

    Re: what browser to use

    No reason to use Chrome anymore... IE9 + Google Frame works better and websites are loading as they should...

    Re: what browser to use

    Firefox is great from an open source standpoint, but anyone else experience plugin-box crashes?

    Does chrome still track your browsing habits?

    Re: what browser to use

    I have always used Firefox and want to go back to using it, but has become to unstable for me. When ever i use Firefox i get blackscreen nvidia "driver not responding" issues since the using the last 4 or 5 versions of nvidia drivers they released, is totally weird never happens with any other browser or in game.

    So i have made the move to Chrome instead, but hopefully i can go back to Firefox when the current issues get resolved.

    Re: what browser to use

    Barichello - I have a similar issue on a Lenovo Thinkpad with switchable graphics (Intel integrated & AMD FireGL). If I switch between the two, I often have to reload Firefox entirely - otherwise I get a black screen in Firefox. Never thought much of it as closing Firefox and reloading sorts it, until you mentioned that.
