So, traditionally everybody uses their as-supplied Internet Explorer, some of those opt for Mozilla Firefox.

The smart ones go for either Mozilla or Opera.

Strange ones choose Apple's Safari, which claims to be the best yet on their very own comparison table at http://www.apple.com/safari/ it fails on both JavaScript and HTML Performance.


But now Google have jumped into the frey with Chrome..

What'll it be?

Let the battle commence

Opera for me, I've got used to (and love) the mouse gestures or things, such as if you right click on a link and drag the mouse down, then release, it opens the link in a new tab, also you can use the left and right mouse keys for scrolling between pages, if you click the right, then the left in quick sucession, you go back a page, and visa-versa. I've just come to adore Opera :D also, it was the first browser to keep all tabs between closing down one time, and opening the next.

I use Chrome because I enjoy being vulnerable to one-line Javascript exploits that run random code.

I used Opera and Firefox in the past and now Im using IE7
All this is because there's this guy from the local pc store told me that Opera has lots of spywares and stuff and its not stable and strongly advice me to stick to IE7

Is this true?

Well, IE7 will probably be more vunerable to visuses, mainly because the most people use it, it's the browser that people program visuses for, however there will be visuses designed for all the other browsers too. But personally I haven't noticed any spyware etc whilst using opera.

Ok, i'm an idiot. What's the first one you have a symbol for Serverguy? I know the firefox one because that is all I use.

Oh and I LOVE IE7 the 64 bit version that not even the microsoft site will recognize lol.

EDIT: ok nevermind Server, I right clicked and did properties to see that the symbol is for chrome. Guess that makes me a half wit not a full blown idiot lol.
