There is no best - whatever you like is the best. IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari - use whatever you like.

Am curious what are the specs of your new PC.

I like ChromePlus browser, but ... the best browser is one that, like Allan already said, is the one you are most comfortable using.

Hi,
I use dial-up connection.  Google Chrome is way faster than FireFox and Internet Explorer.  Although, I wonder how much info Google is collecting about my surfing.

If you're worried, use a non google variant (same basic browser, Chrome(ium) is OpenSource) such as SRWare Iron or Chrome Plus

    Chromium is the fastest so far for me - even though it's sort of "stripped down."
     Apparently it's a simplified variation on Google Chrome.

    Chromium is open source, Google Chrome is Google's version of chromium.

    From what I understand, google started both Chromium & Chrome, chrome is the "commercial" version, and chromium is the open sourced version.

    I'm not 100% sure on that, but I used to think that Chrome was just googles product based on a pre-existing Open Source program (Chromium) but articles/information I've read in the meantime make me thing that Chromium was also started by google.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

    Usage share of web browsers
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
     .... Chrome is the most popular browser in Tunisia and Albania with respectively 49% and 52% usage share...

    Of course, that does not mean any are the best just because they are popular. Right?
    Did you say yes? If so, then we could go on to declare the best coffee is from Brazil.

      IE still has the highest usage, and its not the best! Many just don't know there are alternative browsers, and just use what's bundled with Windows.
