tried IE, firefox, safari

 

My vote goes to Firefox. but lan lan got to use IE as some bros have pointed out, that some stupid sites only can load correctly using IE.

downloaded chrome. Used for one day already. Quite like it. Only disadvantage is that it has no add-ons (I got this add-on in Firefox where if I highlight a particular word in the browser, and right click it, I can get the meaning of the word. Very user-friendly)

 

IE 8 i dun like the interface. Doesn't look logical to have the address bar above 'File Edit View...' toolbar.

 

Firefox crashes occasionally.

 

So I am like goldilocks eh?

Chrome consumes quite a bit of resources, but it's my top pick for Windows, having tried IE, safari and firefox.

 

If you have not tried it, PLEASE DO. it's that good. it's blazing fast and much more stable, and i prefer its interface above all others (ok, i dig simplicity...)

 

pity about chrome for mac. waiting for non-beta version. for now it's safari and FF which work fine but i actually prefer chrome interface even after half a yr on mac.

Anybody use Opera? I find it blazing fast. Even faster than Chrome.

tried it already. It tries to be like firefox lyddat.... lots of features ==> need to learn how to use it.

 

Chrome no need. Once uu see it uu noe what to do already.

 

And I found out that when you want to add a 'www' and '.net' into your domain in your address bar, the shortcut key shift+enter is not activated... zzz.

Which gives the best and most user-friendly performance?

 

Also, I heard that G. Chrome got no Java thingy. True?

 

 

Chrome is simple and fast.. IE8 seems to hang more often than IE7.. guess it need more fine tuning..,

 

find that Firefox is not much difference from IE.

After uu install the addons for firefox uu will see the difference le, especially the ad-block plus.

 

I upgraded my IE from 6 straight to 8, still find 8 worse. haha.

But i thought chrome collects data from users usage pattern, so there is a bit privacy issue?

From PC world website:

 

You're giving advertisers extra ammo.

 

Have you seen all the hype about Google's privacy practices and how much of your data it shares with advertisers? Imagine the potential ammo you're giving it by using this browser. Google will now have total control over your experience from the time you open Chrome to the time you shut down. In some sense, you might just as well invite DoubleClick to watch over your shoulder while you surf.

that's for the beta version. The PC world review on the Chrome launch version (not beta) didn't bring up this issue at all.
