So what will take for you to switch?
 
I don't think I am ever going to switch to Chrome and Opera. So the option remains between Firefox and IE 9. 
 
I am very curious to see how IE 9 is going to perform. Unlike the rest of the world, I like Microsoft products somewhat.

Funny, I just now installed the beta version of the new IE. Looks super clean, which is basically my number one browser requirement. The second one being speed of course. Chrome has scratched this itch for so long, but I'm willing to at least give IE a shot.

Until Noscript works on other browsers I'll stick with Firefox.

What is your problem with Chrome? If the choice comes down to Firefox and IE9 though IE9 seems to be the better choice at this point, as much as I hate the previous versions of the browser. IE9 looks a lot more like Chrome and runs way better than the previous versions and better than Firefox in some tests I believe.

Yea. Im a big tabber so ending up with teeny tabs after only opening a few would get on my nerves. I think I'll always be a FF man. Mainly because Ive always seen it as having a 'rebelling against the machine (Microsoft)' vibe

Wow, that is clean. Very simplistic. FF4 also looks pretty clean I would say. I love simplistic design. (too bad it doesn't work with the site :( )  
 
I like how IE 9 has a paste to go function. It is pretty much the only thing I envy from my use of Chrome that FF doesn't have.

Really, chrome is the only browser that anyone needs. Except for the idiots who go to all these dodgy sites so they 'can't live without adblock/noscript'.

@JJWeatherman: Okay, lets say you copied a link, now you paste it into the address bar; with firefox you have to paste it then press enter or the little arrow thingy, but with chrome one of the options below paste is "paste and go" allowing you to cut a step.

Ahh. I almost always just highlight whatever link or text I want to enter and right-click and select "search Google for...". Basically the same thing.

Went from FF to Chrome earlier this year and really like it. Not really used IE since IE5 (or maybe IE6 not sure which one XP used as default) so can't say much about it. Safari doesn't support extensions as far as I know and haven't used Opera since the days of dial-up a decade ago.

Pretty fast, nice looking, looks they fixed the annoying clicking sound and the awful scrolling as well. I'll be using it more today to get a better feel. It's pretty glitchy with the GB forums though XD.      
 
Edit: I think it needs Flash, tried going to Youtube and it suggested that you download their latest preview release.

All I want out of my browser is:
 

  • Low memory use.
  • Adblocker.
  • Built in spell checker.
  • Tabs.
  • A bookmarks nav bar.
  • To be able to drag a tab into said bookmarks and not need to go through two or three menus just to favorite it. I'm looking at you chrome.
  • And most importantly, to be able to right click in any text field and select from a group of saved entries various kinds of information to automatically be input into said space. It's an amazing time saver, and I can't believe it's not built into every one.
 
With the exception of the low memory use, Firefox is the only browser that does all of those things. So until the others do I'm stuck with firefox.

I freaking love Safari on my Mac, but when i move to the Windows 7 computer i always run Chrome. Firefox is shit slow and clunky, and IE is well garbage.

@pornstorestiffi:  Its not all garbage man. Not everyone is tech savy you know? IE is computer users who do not bother to tweak it at all. They use it out of the box. And for those people, IE perfect. It even has a private mode and that mode is way better than Firefox.

@extremeradical:  Wait until IE 9 and FF 4 come out and then decide. The way I see it, FF 4 is going to really fast. I tested it on an old laptop of mine, on which I use Chrome because its pretty damn fast, and I have to say, FF 4 is almost just as fast.

From what I've seen, IE9 seems roughly on par with current builds of Chrome and Firefox. However, while Firefox and IE are just catching up to chrome in terms of speed, google is already beginning to test new hardware acceleration methods; if early indications from testing are to be trusted, it seems that it won't be long before chrome takes another relatively large leap forward, and Firefox and IE are forced, again, to play catch-up. Google iterates on its project with a speed that is matched by no other companies, and while it can have its downsides, on the software side, it often means that they end up setting the pace.
 
I also flat out love the minimalism of the chrome interface, and while IE9 is a step in the right direction, I still prefer Chrome's usability.

Chrome and Firefox has their uses; though I'm glad that IE9 is proving to be heading in the right direction. This is really only a big plus for the school institutes that doesn't allow any other web browser but IE (our college at least lets us use Firefox, but my high school was still stuck with IE. Pissed me off).

I do like the new direction IE is taking, but even if it's the best browser in the world, I can't switch until they port it to Mac. As for Firefox, I like its large library of extensions and themes, but I still don't find it as intuitive as Chrome or Safari.

I have various subfolders on my nav bar, as I like to keep things organized, and it's a pain in the ass using the star because I have to hunt through a list to find the one folder that I want to save the link in instead of just dragging it into it. As for hitting shortcuts to do it, well it's just an extra unnecessary step that turns me off of Chrome when it doesn't need to be there. I should be able to just click and drag it and not have to remember shortcuts or hunt through a long list of folders just to bookmark something where I want it.
 
Thanks for the links though.

 Chrome has Adblock and it's better than Firefox's (it can block some video ads. The firefox one is/was unable too. I dunno if they changed it by now though). 
 
Anyway, browser wars became irrelevant once Chrome was released. Using the internet for me is a religion, and Chrome is the shit.

Palemoon, it's firefox optimized for windows, as fast as (sometimes faster) than Chrome and you get to keep all your firefox add-ons!

new iterations of IE have shown that Microsoft is starting to take browsers seriously. I have been using Chrome for almost a year now and found that its speed is worth giving up the extras that you get with FF. Opera isn't awful, but what used to be its big selling point (speed) has kind of taken the back seat to odd endeavors like Opera Unite (wrong direction in my opinion). I will continue to stick with Chrome for the time being.

@ka_tet19: Even though MS may be heading in the right direction, I doubt IE 9 will have the kind of add-on support that Firefox does. I have the following extensions, and I recommend them to everyone, provided you have a need for it: 
  • Yahoo Mail Watcher
  • FlashGot (to catch download links and route them to my download manager, and to download flash videos from different websites)
  • Vista Aero - If you are fan of IE interface
  • AdBlock Plus - If you like a uncluttered browsing experience
  • Spell checker - which is built in by default, that is conspicuously lacking in IE 8
So, as long as I can find these in IE 9 somehow, I am willing to switch. If not, I will have to stick to Firefox.
