I was wondering which web-browser would you recommend, which is safest, fastest, and so forth.

I am sure you will get a variety of answers here.  Internet Explorer most likely at the bottom.  I started with IE because I thought I had to use it. Then  downloaded Firefox some years ago until it lost its usefulness for me and now my default browser  is Google Chrome which I like the best.  FireFox is a backup browser and IE only if I am absolutely desperate.  And there really isn't a limit that I know of on how many browser's you can have so experiment.

Firefox with Noscript plug-in is the most secure browser you'll find.

And apparently Chrome is the fastest... although I'm not so sure about which one allows the rest of your work to be the least interrupted as all of them seem to slow the rest of my PC down... probably a flash issue though.  I've used Firefox ever since I heard Netscape had been brought back to life and can't say I'm a fan of Chrome as if there's one browser that stops everything else running smoothly it's Chrome.

it doesn't make a damned bit of difference which browser you use. People who get their panties in a twist about which browser is best are lifeless losers with nothing better to do but make exorbinant and factless claims that "Browser X is more secure" or "Browser X is faster". Just use a damned browser and stop with the senseless zealotry.

If what I said is wrong, please articulate how it is. Or you could continue to make quips that imply I use or need drugs, which has no basis in fact and are wholly irrelevant, if that makes you feel important.

I didn't really get upset about it, more like just wanted to warn people that Chrome can make the rest of the applications run worse.  It's got nothing to do with loyalty, if it was I'd use IE, after all I like MS.
