which of these 3 browsers is the best in your opinion?

Mosaic 1.0
Depends on the activity you're engaged in.
I use Firefox when I for some reason need to run the NoScript and FlashBlock add-ons, so that I can make movies play only selectively and avoid pop-ups and redirects. Not sure what kind of site that comes in use though.
I use Chrome for general browsing due to speed. It runs javascript many times faster than IE8 and seems to render pages overall a bit quicker.
But Chrome is still new and a lil buggy, so if something craps out like Netflix Instant Watch, I'll use IE.
In short its nice to have two or three installed. At least one for browsing unhindered by any add-ons, and Firefox for all your favorite add-ons. Half the time I have Firefox open for no reason other than Chatzilla.
Netscape 4.0

I've switched to Chrome within the last couple weeks.
I tried it a year or so ago and completely hated it. But, about a month ago I tried it again and fell in love. It's matured alot in that time and it's just a great browser compared to FF. FF has gone to complete crap since 3.3.
It's smooth, responsive, fast, and user friendly.

Chrome is slick.
Switched from Firefox to Chrome last week. Have flipped between the two over the last year or so before finally committing. Honestly, Chrome is overall faster, smoother, and hosts many of the same functions that Firefox once held over it. With the now plethora of extensions for Chrome it become a no brainer for me.
The only thing that FF still holds over Chrome is the NoScript addon. Though I have minorly subbed it using the Flashblock extension. The menus, options are a tad easier to navigate. Plus the fact that Chrome doesn't take a full 15-20 seconds to load, and gobbles system resources like FF does. With themes and extensions, there is little that FF offers over Chrome.
I really like the speed of chrome but I don't really use it anymore because it doesn't have NoScript style mods (if it does please let me know...)
I use firefox because of all the addons I can get with it (NoScript, BetterPrivacy, etc.)
Firefox. Quick enough, stable enough and got all the feutures I need or may want.
I use FF. Have for many years. Found it to be stable, safe, secure, quick and the addons are neat. I might check out Chrome if others are making remarks about it having matured and is faster. . .just to check it out. But for now, FF is a winner.
Chrome for me cause I love how fast it is and how polished it looks.
I just tried Chrome as being a long-time FF user and bailed on Chrome. It didnt seem any faster in the noticable least, and its simplistic plain paper design didnt come across as having as many accessible features I like to be able to have immediate access to as readily as FireFox.
Been using Mozilla browsers since they were first in early beta. FF, baby!
M59, UO, EQ1, WWIIOL, PS, EnB, SL, SWG. MoM, EQ2, AO, SB, CoH, LOTRO, WoW, DDO+ f2p's, Demos & indie alpha's.
Anything FF can do, Chrome can do. Most of the addons for FF have been converted to Chrome already. Except, NoScript. I looked for it after someone mentioned it and I couldn't find it. I don't use it though, so it doesn't bother me.
If you run lots of addons, Chrome runs much much better. Each addon in chrome, has it's own dedicated process instead of being lumped into one single process with the browser, like FF does.
Not only does Chrome do everything FF can do, it can do more.... at least for me.

FireFox for me though it's no way near perfect.
?
I just don't like the current layout of IE so instead of trying to change it just downloaded Firefox lol. Never had any problems though beside that. So I would saw equal but picked Firefox.
Hold on Snow Leopard, imma let you finish, but Windows had one of the best operating systems of all time.
If the Powerball lottery was like Lotro, nobody would win for 2 years, and then everyone in Nebraska would win on the same day.

Firefox!
voted for mozilla fire fox...it has been my browser for as long as i can remember.
well i just dont like the others and dont use em that often.
I used Firefox for years, and loved how customizable it was.
Recently though, I have switched to Chrome due to its very minimalistic style right out of the box, and how fast it is. I also like the fact that each tab is handled as its own process. Have been able to find most of the add-on's I used before, and there are some I don't even need anymore.
Adblock, the adblock addon from FF. Flashblock, does what it name says, also has a white list in options. Ghostery, tracks who is putting tracking cookies and other tracking methods on your computer. WOT, which is web of trust. Its akin to a link checker thats ala Mcaffee site advisor just better in my opinon.
I have been running Chrome for going on 2 weeks or so. Running Avast, and Malwarebyte's scans every few days. along with Outpost Free firewall and haven't come across any blips of being compromised. So NoScript hasn't been a big saving factor that I have seen. Note that I run Avast on highest realtime scans, and will soon upgrade Malwarebytes to the same level soon enough.
I like firefox because of all the Add-ons
firefox!i did a lot of test on their latestes nightly and it is the best for what average people use
webgl active=check
html5 active=check
it is hard to explain until you actually try it!true as this site point out some feature arent in it(yet)but a lot of those feature arent
opensource solution so average user will ignore it and support firefox .
http://beta.html5test.com/ i just wish those supplying html5 content at openvideo.dailymotion would bother to supply
full HD i mean i view some elsewhere so its not the techno lol its just those supplying the video (ign im staring at you)
true it is a new techno but judging from all the poster at the site i supplied its fair to say it will pick-up fast in the linux and windows
firefox community!3.7-5 is a beast!
Yep. Firefox has been ahead of the pack in the nightly builds in meeting new w3c recommendations. But yeah, it isn't saying a lot given there's not a lot of HTML5 content on the web. The new parser is only significant to developers. Firefox is kicking ass though.
