    i tried firefox and camino but settled with safari.

    i find the firefox's pop ups asking me to remember passwords and the xmarks installed annoying and kinda reminded me of internet explorer and the add-onsi tried did not work.

    haven't tried google chrome yet.

    Holy! Netscape = old school :) But it was a pretty good browser - fast and simple.

    I use Safari, although I used Opera in my old puter. Haven't felt the urge to try Chrome yet.

    I use crome on my netbook coz its lighter and takes up less screen than fire fox did.

    On my my mac i still stick to firefox.

    read somewhere (lifehacker ata) that if your on windows, go chrome. For mac users firefox pa din daw.
     
  7. If you are a web developer, Firefox is the way to go because of the development tools you can add to your browser. As a user, it doesn't matter. There might be some differences between the loading time but its not that significant.

    What makes the browser crashes or slows down while loading is PARTLY because of how bad the website is being developed.

    I use both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Google Chrome loads much faster than firefox and now has different extensions that made the browser more enjoyable to use. I both recommend Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox :)

    i use safari more often, yes google chrome is faster when it comes to "browsing" but when I play videos online in google chrome, it takes 10 minutes to load the whole video but when i try it in safari its continous..

    Safari's the best. You don't have to wait for startup, when you click it, the program starts up pretty quick unlike firefox or google

    Just when Google Chrome had it in the Speed wars, here comes Opera with something "brand new" up it's sleeve. Haha, honestly, this video made me laugh so hard. :p

    Using Safari & Chrome on my MBP.. Safari is good, although i hate going to History>Reopen All Windows from Last Session whenever i launch it to restore my previous tabs. I just wish Safari can save your surfing sessions before quitting the program. Chrome has an advantage on that aspect and it is really fast.. :)

    I prefer Chrome because it's simple and straight-forward. I'm in love with its minimalistic design.

    Id like to shift to chrome for its simplicity but, I use the Download helper for You tube downloads and Xmarks for internet bookmarks.. does chrome have plug ins or alterbatives for this feature?
