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.
 
Installed IE9 today, tabs open faster then IE8. I have to use Firefox to post this comment, lol.

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.
 
no prob with flash with FF4 here. if flash crashes with firefox maybe it's time to reinstall windows or get a new PC cause apparently you the only ones with the problem
 
So if XP is stuck with IE8, then that will be the new IE6 as far as web standards are concerned.
 
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'm a FF owner and I'll try this baby out tonight. If I do not like it, I'll just go back to FF. No big deal. ;p
 
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?
 
IE9 looks beautiful. Just give it time for them to improve it and add extensions.
