I currently have Internet Explorer but I'm thinking about switching to a different browser (no particular reason) but I am curious how much better other browsers are. At the top of my head I can think of Firefox and Safari. Thanks for your input! =)

Firefox has been my browser of choice for a few years, now. It's much faster than IE and has UI that is simple and function. You can also install add-ons to improve your browsing experience. I'll give you a few examples of what I'm using:



WOT, aka "Web Of Trust" gives you ratings for the sites you visit. It's a good, fast way to see if a site is harmful or offensive, ect.



Adblock, you know those annoying ads you see everywhere? You don't see them with this install. Makes browsing much less of an eyesore.



DownThemAll!, this really is one of the best add-ons out there. It's a download manager, and a damn good one. It's very nice for say, image boards for example.



NoScript- saved my *** from a shock site or two. (it has other uses :P) What it does and disable Javascript on sites. And yes, you can enable/disable it on any site you wish.



I have more add-ons installed, but these are by far the most important/best ones I've used. You can also theme Firefox to look the way you want, if you're into that.

This completely depends on you that what you want from browser. If you only want speed then no browser can match Google Chrome. But the best browser is Mozilla Firefox, because of its large list of addons. You can customize your browser completely according to your needs. You get best look in Firefox through personas. Firefox is most safe browser on earth. Off course many on these addons also works quite fine on chrome, but not perfectly, like in Firefox. Opera is also very good browser in terms of looks, safety etc. But the worst is Internet Explorer. I don't like when some websites say that they are supported only on Internet Explorer.

Firefox.But Ill keep the regular ie=internet explorer because firefox slows your internet down, but it has cool addons

I use Opera, because it's proven to be the fastest browser available. Firefox is also quite nice because it allows for addons and widgets. I find Google Chrome to be quite glitchy; I'd wait 'till they've got it working better before using it.

Firefox and Google Chrome are both pretty good.



However, some sites (such as MSN Games) will not work on Google Chrome.

i'd stick to IE because most sites are developed and test on IE.



i only use IE and its the best for me so far.

but that's just my opinion.
