    Default Firefox, Chrome ? Other ? Which browser do you think is best ?

    I like safari. It has some very nice short cuts that you don't find on other browsers. My bookmarks I can press control 1 and it will take me to my first bookmark etc.

    Also the reader function comes in handy a lot more than I ever thought I would.

    Not as fast as chrome. But I hate google with a passion. But considering I have very fast Internet it doesn't matter that much.

    I do very rarely use windows though. I am a Mac guy

    Depending on which family or work computer I handle, I use IE, Firefox, or Chrome. I have been using Firefox for years and prefer it over IE. I prefer Chrome over IE too.

    I can't use Firefox on my work PC, so I use IE and Chrome. IE is required for the work intranet. Chrome is for personal use.

    On my home PC I use Firefox. Chrome is faster than Firefox on some sites, but not all. I also like using add-ons, so Firefox wins on that.

    I use Firefox on my smartphone. Anything is better than the phone's default web browser. I also like how I can synchronize the Firefox bookmarks my home PC with Firefox on my smartphone.

    I really like Chrome. I used to use Firefox exclusively but after switching to Chrome I find Firefox really slow and annoying.

    My laptop uses Windows 7 and I like Firefox. My desktop has Windows 8 and runs better with I.E., I did try Firefox but it kept crashing.

    Try Maxthon or Miren on your Droid. I like both of them, and they seem to handle Flash better than most mobile browsers.
    They both have downsides, but I haven't found a perfect Droid browser yet.

    On my desktops I use Firefox because I like using Firebug to work on CSS.

    I've used maxthon and like it but I'm so used to opera its hard to switch. I think the best thing about maxthon is that it opens pages in full browser mode instead of Mobil on my phone.

    I like both Chrome and linux's version Chromium as it looks a little sleeker. However, I also use firefox as well. The only time I use the nasty Internet Explorer is when the others are not supported for an application. The other day I had to get onto windoze 7 and had to use IE. I spent 7 minutes telling the OS that no, I did not want to allow dozens of sights to place a cookie on my computer. IE is like shaving with a dull, old, electric razor.
