    Chrome can be fastest, but Mozilla Firefox is safer than the others, as i said a page infected don't make any trouble to your pc if usin' firefox.
    So I Think: What's better?
    Speed or Safety?
    I prefer Safety, take more time to download a page, but don't get my computer infected!

    I used to be very stubborn on this subject. I dictated myself into not using any browser other than firefox, and I loved it. Though one day it just slowed down to the speed of a snail, so I switched to chrome. Firefox isn't having many issues now, so I like to use them both. Chrome is great for when firefox is having a bad day, and an overall excellent browser on its own.

    That is a very baseless argument. Chrome is just as safe as Firefox, if not safer.

    Well if you call experience on both baseless, then it's baseless, but i've used Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozila Firefox, and i figured out by myself that MF is safer, 'cause i've tested all in every place.
    No ofense, but Chrome is just faster, not safer.

    you can't make statements like that without providing factual evidence to back them up.

    How do you test how "safe" a web browser is anyways? That's definitely not something you can determine just by using it for a couple minutes.

    I've used all of those Web browsers equally and firefox suits my needs more than Internet Explorer or Google Chrome does altogether.
    Google Chrome is nice, but there is just something about it that makes me not want to use it.

    And Internet Explorer won't even run on my OS (Linux)...i think? I use it on computers that don't have Firefox or Chrome and it runs as well as the system does.

    Even though Firefox is one of the web browsers that have the slowest picture rendering, action scripting, etc, etc, and comes with a multitude of bugs and errors. Not to mention it is also unstable. Although that information was from ages ago I admit, and I do erxpect things to be different now.

    But then again when you think about it, it all depends on what you want to do when you are browsing the internet. Different browsers for different tasks.

    I have never had any instability with firefox on any computer, and I've been using it since 1.4 and earlier.

    Google chrome because it loads faster and i like to get online as quick as possible with no annoying toolbars and apps slowing my internet and browser down.

    lolz I can see you choose that one :p

    I'm now on FireFox... It just had a freaking error, solved it. But I have a feeling this browser isn't good for my PC and that that error comes back...
    I'm now on FireFox because Opera has an freaking error

    Don't install the toolbars then. Seriously, its the fault of the user, not the browser, if theres annoying toolbars.

    Google Chrome.

    I've used it since it came out and i fell in love with it!

    I don't know if it's just me but Firefox for some reason takes ages to load on my Win XP system (1-3 minutes)

    I use Google Chrome because:

    It is faster (Majority it is True)
    No add-ons (and those programs that ask you to install their tool bar our you can't use their product)
    Runs light on all Systems
