General consensus amongst most computer enthusiasts over past few years has been anything but Internet Explorer, that said IE is getting better, im on IE 10 at moment and it was almost 24 hours before i downloaded oprera, normally its less than twenty minutes after i install the OS.

Chrome can make applications run worse? How?

No idea, just makes 'em more choppy, it's an issue I've discovered on multiple machines and is enough to stop me recommending it.  As for speed there's basically no difference between each browser, so go ahead and choose whatever.  I've gotten used to browsing recklessly under NoScript so I'm stuck with Firefox for now.

Well, I think that issue you're having with Chrome is exactly that - your issue. Chrome doesn't affect any other applications on any of the 4 PCs at home.

As already said, the best browser is simply a matter of opinion.

Yah. Until you take into account the plug-ins for Firefox after which it becomes a matter of.. Firefox! That's right.

I'm sorry, Raptor, but Firefox is not the best browser... as it isn't actually a browser...

After all, a browser is designed to display web pages...

And web pages are designed to display in Firefox.

Yes, I do agree that Firefox is the best browser for me. But that's because I design websites, and Firefox is the easiest to work with. Stupid IE6.

I prefer it to any other, and I would recommend it to others too.  But the best?  It depends.  Also, I was joking about earlier.

Excellent! Nothing like fellow like-minded Firefox users to make me believe in humanity.

At this point in time I do believe IE is more secure than FF with Chrome leading the pack. Chrome Is Most Secure of the Top Three Browsers, Study Finds

Although I'm not giving up FF yet, Chrome is making some major progress with it's speed and security not to mention a growing number of useful add-ons.
