Name your browser

Be interesting to see what folks here call their main browser.

I gave Chrome a long try, but switched to IE8 and found the speed was as good as Chrome, and because I really can't do without some of the Add-Ons I use that won't work with other browsers.

I second what Ken said. I have and rely on add-ons for IE that don't exist for the other browsers so I stick with IE. it's not worth the effort to me to use multiple browsers depending on what I'm doing.

I said Chrome but really use both IE-8 and Chrome. I open MSN web-page with Chrome though.

I use Chrome on my laptop/desktop home computer and IE on my work computer.

Chrome for basic viewing. FF, IE8 for displaying website design work. IE8 is needed to log into certain businesses back ends since active x is required.

Only went with FF as main about a month ago when IE8 started acting really odd. Was really slow to open and often timed out, deleted it reinstalled it, still was very slow to all sites. so I went with FF, I also have chrome and still use IE for some things as the issues now seems to be resolved but once I changed, I have got used to FF.

Using IE8 but when I get my new laptop I am going to give FF and Chrome a try.

I use Safari cause it came with my Mac and I guess I don't know any better. I'm happy with it though.

I use Chrome on both my Mac and PC.

It's just a great browser.

Once I made a gmail account I wanted to know what else Google had to offer and now I just use Chrome.
