Well we all use internet browsers, but in your opinion which is the best?
Personally I think Safari is the best because it is quite fast, has a good built in spell checker and as a good Ad-block add-on.

I've always used Firefox, but anything beats IE.

I've used Firefox for quite a long time now, although I did use Opera for a bit before I got Linux and went back to Firefox.

I use Firefox by default. However, Opera is actually very good too, so lately I've been using that sometimes.

Here's what I think:

Firefox
+ wide range of add-ons (including outstanding AdBlock Plus)
- sluggish

SRWare Iron
+ lightning fast
+ excellent download manager
- you've got to admit - it is rather short on features
- such as RSS

Opera (which is installed on my PC, but I haven't used it for long enough to say much of anything about it)
+ ?????
- can't get add-ons for previous versions
And I can't say much else about it.

Hard to say what the better browser is.

Ever since I switched to Windows 7 64bit on my PC, I've used Waterfox (a 64bit version of Firefox). It has most of Firefox's add-ons available, but it's faster. Obviously, though, you need to be running a 64bit OS.

Had some stability issues with waterfox a few versions back and started just using normal 32 bit Firefox more. Chrome is still my main browser though.

I'm late to the party, but I use Chrome because it's what I've used for a long time and that's where my bookmarks and extensions are.

As for which browser is the best, I like Chrome for it's inspect element feature. When I'm designing a web page, I will first put an element in the source file to get it in position. Then, I style it by using Chrome's inspector until I get exactly what I want. Then, I copy the styling from the inspector to the stylesheet, and I'm done. This feature alone puts Chrome at the top for me.

I know other browsers have the same feature, but when I've tried them in the past they have been less responsive.

Firefox has the inspect element feature too now.

I checked it out again, and it seems to be a lot better than how I remember it. Good to know.
