I have the following internet browsers installed on my system and I have listed them in the order of most favorite to least.</p> <p>1. Internet Explorer<br /> 2. Firefox<br /> 3. Safari<br /> 4. Opera<br /> 5. Chrome</p> <p>Internet Explorer used to be one of my most hated. It used to freeze all the time and I would ALWAYS get a Error say, "IE has encountered a problem with Flash 9E.ocx". But ever since I've upgraded my flashplayer to version 10, Internet Explorer has been running very smoothly for me. To the date I've upgraded my flash player it has NEVER crashed at all. It also seems to be faster for some reason.</p> <p>Firefox is my second favorite because of all it's features you can customize. I enjoy all the add-ons and it's speed is right up there with Internet Explorer. The only problem is that the more add-ons you have, the more it slows down the browser.</p> <p>Safari takes forever to start up for me but it runs and loads every page pretty fast. I rarely use it but it's good to have I guess. It's basically an average browser with few features to me.</p> <p>Opera is not my friend. It doesn't really run all that fast for me and it doesn't read pages the way it should. I have it for testing purposes but I never use it.</p> <p>Chrome is my most hated. I haven't tried the new "Official 1.0 Version" yet but I tried it back in beta. It was VERY fast for me which I liked but it was horrible at reading pages. Every page I looked at using it seemed "Messed Up". Even on Google itself, the navbar was messed up and completely vertical. But like I said they could have changed this since then but I have enough browsers and don't need another one on my system. I only have about 800 MB left on my system, lol.</p> <p>So anyway, these are just my opinions and experiences. Don't take what I say as the standard here. I know many people hate Internet Explorer but it has run great for me. At the same time, I still agree that Firefox is a great browser as well. As for the rest, I didn't like them. Safari was just average and it got worst with Opera and Chrome. But maybe this has helped someone get a better understanding of the browser market.</p> <p>Regards, Chip </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3815#post-47302 Sat, 13 Dec 2008 11:13:30 +0000 BuBBy 47302@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>For some companies "Beta" is more of a marketing technique than an engineering concept. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3815#post-47301 Sat, 13 Dec 2008 10:17:08 +0000 paulwh 47301@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Google chrome now out of Beta...this is remarkable quick (100 days) for them considering GMail is still in Beta (4 years after launch)and Picassa (aquired by Google July 2004)only recently dropping its Beta status </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3815#post-47170 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:24:26 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 47170@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>So far, the only gripe I've had with Chrome is the fact that hotmail didn't quite work the same. Microsoft has fixed this, and now I have no complaints. Chrome is now my browser of choice. It works twice as fast as firefox, and 10x's as fast as IE. The thing to remember about Chrome is that it is still in first beta. All browsers are minimalistic in first beta, even in second. Also, it is a brand new browser straight out of the gate. It's not going to have all of the options available like the ones who have been around for years. I remember Firefox not having all of the options that it now has either. Besides, the thing that makes Firefox so appealing (other than speed) is how easily it is to configure and add onto it. Google has already announced that there will be add-on support. Chrome also has some features that Firefox doesn't have. Overall, as far as beta's go, I'm overly impressed with Chrome. I can't wait until the final build.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> AH </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3815#post-44129 Sat, 25 Oct 2008 02:36:24 +0000 fmisle 44129@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I downloaded Chrome, and it isnt that bad, I like it, though it is still new and some web pages still dont support it! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3815#post-43797 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 10:04:10 +0000 jinkazama 43797@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>chrome was built using Safari WebKit &#38; Firefox...but their options menu seems to be missing alot of things firefox has...</p> <p>anyway, should you have multiple displays or extend your desktop screen, chrome allows you to drag a tab out and place it onto another window. firefox &#38; IE7 still lacks this feature. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3815#post-43764 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 01:45:58 +0000 Quantum Dragon 43764@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Firefox was hated at first too!</p> <p>Chrome will get better. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3815#post-43650 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 01:36:34 +0000 my_name_is_brad 43650@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>consider this though. Google provides a large portion of firefox funding. Google also employs several former and current members of the firefox team.

I am told that because it handles JS differently then most browsers sites or pages that use a lot of JS work much faster in Chrome.
