I'm sick of Mozilla Firefox, what switch to? Fanboys welcome! Just looking for a change!
Chrome. I wouldn't use any other. It just feels so light weight, and the search functions in the address bar are very nice. Plus incognito mode.

You can install it and give it a try, and you are forced to use incognito (I have never used it for anything else than trying it out.). As said just install like a few next to each other and try them all out and pick the one you like the most.
I use Google Chrome, it's pretty good.
I bet my friend he try out Chrome for 2 days, even though he seemed extremely reluctant and satisfied with Firefox. A week later he asked me how to find the bookmark bar in chrome. :cool:
use chromium builds and update whenever
Chrome.

Firefox. Haters gon hate. But you gotta love firefox!
Switch to the Firefox 4 beta.
Chrome. Firefox is disgusting after using chrome for a while. They've dropped the ball with firefox 4 too.

IE But seriously, leave the fanboyism and internet flamewars out there and use whichever one you like the best. It's up to YOU to decide.

Keep FireFox and download Chrome. I like to use both, but FF seems to be slow sometimes.

Chrome
Chrome [editline]28th December 2010[/editline] hey whale
chrome still has extentions and most useful ones like adblock have been ported over
IE9 is actually shaping up to be really good. I don't use it as my main browser, but when it came to rendering facepunch it beat out firefox and opera. Not quite chrome, which is my main browser, but it was still extremely fast. I pick my browser based off speed. So if another browser comes out that is faster than chrome, I'll switch to it.

Chrome dev channel
SparkBrowser :downs:
I'd stick with firefox due to animated png, it's fast, customizable(more so than chrome imo). But if you really want to change, then go with Chrome.

You could also try Lynx or w3m. THey're really fucking fast when it comes to displaying pages.
[QUOTE=Hookerbot9000;26919782]What'd you say? Sorry, couldn't hear you over my [URL="https://chrome.google.com/extensions"]extensions[/URL][/QUOTE] Because Firefox has no extensions? If you care about getting to sites 0.03 seconds faster, use Opera. If you want to pretend you know a lot about computers, use Chrome. If you have enough memory and you aren't afraid to use a bit more of it, use Firefox. If you don't give a shit, use Internet Explorer. If you want to seem old and wise, use Netscape.
