Am I the only Chrome lover here? I switched from firefox to chrome a couple years ago and was instantly hooked, so fast and such a perfect UI.

chrome user here too. for me ff has become bloated and painstakingly slow, a step better than IE. chrome is a stairway better than ff. chrome = simplicity at its best.

Nothing about security, sorry MS, I will stick with Chrome. Oh that's right IE is not for Macs anyway. Sorry Apple, Safari got pawned, Chrome has my support on OS X.

I haven't tried either, but I will question one thing; Do you really place your trust in browser code that's been plagued with bugs since day 1 and been through 13... 13... beta iterations in its long, delayed development?

I'm with the Chrome crowd - but I'll certainly be taking IE9 more seriously than FF4.

IE8. Best browser ever IMO for user experience. Downloads appear in the middle of the screen. Setup good straight off. Colourful. Microsoft have to mess around with everything until enough people whinge and then they get their act together.

Everytime someone downloads and installs internet explorer a cute fluffy puppy dies. Steve Bulmer drowns them during his lunch breaks. Save the puppies and install firefox instead!!!! XD

Firefox is a hell of alot more colourful than IE, and downloads also appear in the centre of the screen...that is if you wish for these features.

IE8? Thats only an improved POS over the turd known as IE7.

Horrible and bloated interface that is a pure ugly mess to work with - especially once you get 3-5 added tool bars.

I'll stick with Opera for my internet browsing.
Always nice to browse with future features before they hit the mainstream browsers.

I'll stick with Chrome. Loads instantly (like IE), supports themes and extensions including Adblock Plus), insanely fast rendering/javascript, tabs loaded in their own virtual machine (a crashed website will not bring down the app or other tabs), built in bookmark syncing... what's not to like?
