Chrome is real good (probably because I'm a fan of Google), but for those who love Firefox, you got to try this browser called Flock. It looks like Firefox but much much faster and cooler. =D

FF downloads the fastest, Chrome's DLing is a bit strange. I tend to use Chrome because I don't use enough extensions to make FF worth it.

Yeah, my router won't portforward properly either... even if I leave ports near it open too. Shit netgear box.

Google Chrome and Apple Safari are generally regarded as the fastest. However, Safari hasn't got a lot of add-ons for it and Chrome has started their theme and extension support. Opera has changed a lot but i'm pretty sure that it is catching up to Safari/Chrome. Firefox is the most customisable which is why it is so popular. IE sucks in general...

why is Netscape Navigator on there? it went defunct years ago then was bought out and developed into Mozilla Firefox.

I love adblock but occasionally some ads still show up, I also use link preview and a video downloader.
Best logo is firefox, best ad-ons too.

Doesn't chrome have private browsing, or is it cause of multiple tabs.
Tabbing is superior in Firefox. Both in terms of re-opening closed tabs and saving multiple tabs as bookmarks at once.

It's also good to seperate browsers when viewing porn so you have a clean browser that won't accidentally pop up "EXOTIC LESBIAN BUTT PLUG SEX" when your mate starts to type in 'exothermal' or something into the address bar.

Firefox 3.5. Tools > Start Private Browsing.

Not only does IE use heaps of RAM you also have a lot of useless processes running in the background.
