Chrome because: It[B]'[/B]s smoother Custom themes Looks Better (because of custom themes) [url=https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/apng/ehkepjiconegkhpodgoaeamnpckdbblp?hl=en]APNG Support[/url]
Firefox because I've been using it ever since I had an alternative to Internet Explorer and Netscape. It's less that it's amazing and more that I'm use to it and it gets the job done.
Firefox because of all the features and addons, I've used it for years, I know the about:config and its tweaks etc., how customizable it is, the way it looks and because Mozilla supports your privacy and the open web etc..
Chrome because I got so fed up with using Internet Explorer and switched over back in 2008 or 2009. Haven't looked back since.
Firefox, mainly supporting an open web unlike the "walled garden of Google" like I described before, plugins, and fits along with most GTK themes I throw at it.
i just switched back to firefox because everything in chrome started to annoy me
Chrome because one day I had absolutely had it with IE.
Waterfox since it's Firefox but 64-bit. Not sure if it helps, but i've always had problems with browsers taking up absurd amounts of memory, then becoming sluggish because they can't get any more; so I figure i'd give it what it wants (got 12gb, anyway) since I can't seem to stop it. Amusingly, Waterfox seems to be much more memory-efficient than the other browsers i've tried.
Chrome. Have been using it without any noticeable problems since 2008.
[QUOTE=JXZ;41745131]Chrome because: [url=https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/apng/ehkepjiconegkhpodgoaeamnpckdbblp?hl=en]APNG Support[/url][/QUOTE] That's a really oddball reason to specifically use Chrome when two of its competitors support apng without any sort of addons.
Been using Firefox since 04. I use it because I'm used to it, it's hard for me to move to Chrome or something else.
Chrome. I use it simply because I can instantly search Google by typing it up top in the search bar. While other browsers might offer similar functions (admittedly, I haven't tried any other browsers besides IE7 a while ago), I don't care enough to download a new browser.

Firefox cause I've never had any problems with it and I'm too lazy to switch to Chrome.
Chrome because chrome is cool and has incognito browsing :quagmire:
chrome because firefox have only been trouble in my experience. it was sluggish, slow and had a dying hate for many tabs open at once so eh, chrome was better. haven't tried firefox in a while now though but I'm happy as it is with chrome.
Chrome because it has more features than IE and I like Google so I tried this instead of Firefox. I also wonder if there's anyone here who uses Safari on Windows.
firefox for adblock
Sparkbrowser, as it is clearly the best browser out there. [sp]Nah, I've used Firefox for the past few years, used Opera before that.[/sp]
Chrome, i used to use Opera though.
Opera, for the tab grouping system. Literally the only reason. [editline]7th August 2013[/editline] I hate how chrome looks, it's too bare for me to use. Firefox is good, but the tab grouping is annoying as hell.

It doesn't provide any advantages over Firefox and probably won't for the foreseeable future.
Chrome because it's faster and crashes less than Firefox, and has all the addons I used on Firefox. (I have been using Firefox for 2-4 years)
[QUOTE=supersoldier58;41747846]Chrome because it has more features than IE and I like Google so I tried this instead of Firefox. I also wonder if there's anyone here who uses Safari on Windows.[/QUOTE] I think they discontinued that
Switched from FF to chrome back in 09 because firefox was going fucking slow. I just don't care to ever move back because all my data is already synced and don't feel like starting over with FF.

Chrome 'cause it's fast and I love it's feel and look.
[QUOTE=zurator;41749166]Chrome because it's faster and crashes less than Firefox,[/QUOTE] This isn't actually true. Starting with the last version of Firefox it just barely overtook Chrome in speed and support for CSS and HTML elements. And I haven't had a crash on Firefox in three version or so. Even then the only crashes were from Flash being a buggy pile of garbage.

Safari, because I haven't installed anything else yet.
I use IE because it's what I'm used to and I've never had any problems with it.
