I thought it was time I get this section buzzing again, first off a topic about the one thing that everyone of us use here at TNS where it be on your desktop/laptop computer or your mobile device is an internet browser. Gives us your thoughts. I'm planing on doing a little article describing the pros and cons on the major ones. These aren't all the web browsers. A lot more do exist and if your ones that use any then make a post and makes us all aware of it.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome/Chromium
Apple Safari
Opera

The flaming fox is my favorite.
Sometimes I can't help think that I have you right behind me all this time
If only you could have a chance to see
All the happiness you gave to me

If it's speed the new Opera Beta outclasses them all. Sticking with Chrome the now though, I think the simplistic design.

You really couldn't be more wrong :P
Opera, Safari and Chrome all out rank Firefox :P
However, if you disable opera's ghey caching, then i think Safari is still faster.

I use Google Chrome and it is way better than Firefox in my opinion. Best browser I've ever used.

INTERNET. EXPLORER.
YEAH, BITCH.
BAN ME YOU FUCK.
jkiusefirefox/googlechrome.
And I know I said I needed space,
but I know I can't be comfortable in my own skin.
So when I say I'm scared to be alone, you know I mean it,
I'm just not ready to leave my room.

People use IE?!
I use Firefox. Didn't really like Chrome but I did try it, also AdBlock+ is on Firefox and Firefox has been around much longer so should technically be safer.

Chrome. I used to like firefox but with all the idiotic updates it kept fucking up, never had any problems with chrome. nice, simple, clean. keeps all my most viewed pages on my start up.
