For me, it's ACTUALLY IE11, believe it or not. I don't like Chrome b/c googleprivacy, Firefox KEEPS bugging out on me and I've found an adblock for IE. It was even the fastest on my machine anyways.

I knew a guy in the CIA that used IE before it stuttered. Cost him his life...
My work also forces IE. Being that IT guys should be knowledgeable on this stuff, why do they insist on using IE???
In my work, it seems like the browsers are changing weekly - one develops a problem, others develop different problems, and the merry-go-round continues.
My base assumption is that IE isn't in the running at any time - it always stinks, and nannys users to death.
Firefox and Chrome are the most functional, but there are still some sites which haven't been tested with Chrome and on which critical buttons or controls don't appear. Fortunately, Chrome seems to be working better over the past 60 days.
Until recently, Firefox was locking up for a minute or more periodically, but that seems to have diminished in the last couple of weeks.
On my Android phone, Dolphin seems pretty good and it seems to respond fast.
Overall, I'll stay with Firefox on my PC. On an Android phone or tablet, Chrome or Dolphin.

It consistently has security issues and for a long time Microsoft refused to follow standards so it was necessary to write 2 versions of code to make web pages work with IE.
Use a good browser for a week, then switch back to IE. You will understand. I downloaded chrome at work when google maps stopped working about a year ago.

For years now FF has had a memory leak the longer you run it the more memory it consumes ... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...kQFjAC&usg=AFQjCNH6FjRWGfcdyimZ5lx-oPcKQAIFeg
And ie has security holes. Lots of them. It is the browser that is most attacked by malware. Well documented.
Chrome. I used to use Firefox but it started freezing and acting really buggy. I like how Chrome makes it so I can take tabs that I have open on the computer and open them on my phone. Also being able to access my bookmarks from my phone is handy as well as is the fact that Google backs up everything.
Thanks for the link. I'm considering switching to Pale Moon due to the recent DRM debacle.
I used to like it a lot but the fact is.....it's slower lately and adding add-ons or something as simple as opening an mp3 it over complicates. Chrome does those. Firefox too. So I'm up for a change.....when I get the chance to administer it.
Thanks fro the Ghostery add on suggestion. I love it; much obliged! My PC at work sucks (HP with Windows 7) and I've noticed a big difference after installing and using Ghostery while browsing. Much faster. Love this thread and the other Web Utility referrals.
Netscape Navigator
If you're running that on Windows 3.1, then you have mad 'spect from me.
