Same, used Firefox since pre-release. IE sucks.

Firefox. I used Netscape before that, since 1996. I toy with other browsers now and then (Opera, Safari) but Firefox remains my 'main squeeze'. I carry the portable version in my USB drive. I only use IE when forced (i.e. at work).

cheers!

It's got nothing to do with nanoseconds. The speed difference is in the hundreds of milliseconds (that's hundreds of millions of nanseconds, by the way), so next time you throw around "statistics" do it accurately. Further, IE is the worst at actually even rendering pages accurately and correctly. So IE (and thus Maxthon) does the crappiest job showing you the web and does it slower than browsers that more accurately render pages.

(not all of what I said is true if you're using the pre-release Maxthon3 and the Webkit rather than Trident rendering engine)

^ The reason I use Maxthon as my secondary browser is that it gives no errors where non-IE-based browsers fail. That means netflix w/silverlight, microsoft.com, and many out-of-date sites that simply reject my primary opera install. And of course it is leaps and bounds ahead of IE in terms of features. Other than that I see no reason to use Maxthon (2) over the more popular browsers.

I use Firefox when working on projects because of tabs. Chrome for speed and general browsing.

firefox because i don't like how chrome looks.

Been using ff for years now. Recently been trying out Chrome also and so far I like it. Might make a transition.

I switched from FF to chrome two weeks ago.
I still haven't found all of my favorite addons.
I need foxytunes and a proper download statusbar.
But it is faster than FF and lighter on the CPU.

Pretty much this, it's been good so far though is there a way to show more than 8 pages on the home page?? I don't have an overkill screen but I could easily get another 10 on the one page and it's quicker than searching through the bookmarks.

I just installed Chrome on my PC. It loads unbelievably fast, much much faster than Firefox. Now that it has extensions that I normally use with Firefox, I'm going to give it a second chance.

desktop: chrome
laptop: firefox
web development: firefox, IE6
work: firefox, IE6

I still don't feel chrome is as secure as firefox, I don't do my banking with chrome. Chrome still has a ton of issues rendering common pages ....

Firefox > all

Chrome is probably the most secure browser available today. For the past two years (2009, 2010) it has proven that fact at the Pwn2Own hacking competition whereas Firefox, Safari, and IE have all been successfully attacked. So I'm not really sure where you get the idea that Chrome is less secure, because it's just simply not true.

That's nice to know because I'm loving the latest version of Chrome for both PC and Mac. It's fast as hell and I love that it now supports the extensions that I normally used with Firefox.
