Firefox.

I use SRWare Iron, because it has all of the speed and plugins of Chrome, but without Google tracking/spying on you. The only downside is you have to make sure to update it yourself once in a while, because they don't send any emails or push any popups etc. for new updates.

 

[BassTapp]

Chrome for me.
Thought this applied nicely to the poll and all those romantics here on TB,

Inspiring.

Firefox with Ghostery add on (tracking cookie blocker).

 

[Davebass]

Chrome. Cause I love my privacy ....

Firefox for computers- chrome for this droid.

Chrome. Work tries to force us to use IE, I laugh at them and their security issues.

Netscape Navigator

Opera with Ghostery and Addblock plus.

Same here, although the recent releases haven't gone so well. I am still on version 30.

Chrome.

For the record, Firefox is a massive memory hog.

 

[Einherjar]

Firefox since it came out. Chrome is ok.

Currently Pale Moon, which is an optimized and recompiled build of FF code (also available for 64-bit).
It lags behind Mozilla's releases in terms of version number, but is really stable, fast and less bloated.

Another Iron fan. Been using it for several years now

Firefox. It would be K-meleon if it hadn't been updated in years.
I'm open to alternatives though.

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

I use Chrome because I can use my desktop, laptop, droid phone, droid tab, and Kindle tab and have access to all my stuff.

Have you ever checked? On average, on the several machines I tested with, Chrome uses 30 to 50% more ram than FF. But recent updates might have changed that.

Well, that's why I stopped using Firefox and started using Chrome. Then again, that was a while ago. Perhaps I noticed it more on my older machine with less ram.

Firefox.

I tried Chrome when they had a bigot running Firefox for that week there... it was awful. I was quite glad he stepped down so I could go back to supporting Firefox.

Actually I tested again now with both browsers freshly opened, and Chrome was indeed using less memory. I'd have to check with several tabs open etc. but it is a fact that recently FF has gotten much heavier. Probably a different theme might help.
