    Although tab browsing of Google Chrome needs more memory on than any other browser, I can say that when it comes in playing flash games, using web applications and displaying multiple pages, Google Chrome is the fastest and it is perfect for a beginner as well as an expert. And based on several surveys, Google Chrome has the least sited crashes... And if your a big fan of YOUTUBE, I recommend you to use Google Chrome, because videos open faster in Google Chrome.. And take note YOUTUBE itself recommends average users to use Google Chrome browser...You can count on Google Chrome because it is developed by the world's most popular search engine and website (GOOGLE)...

    Safari's not bad, pretty fast but not the fastest, Firefox is ok, but overrated. Everyone will say it's the best but really it's average. I don't mind Opera, but for some people it's great. Anyone who's using Internet Exploder to read this, SWITCH NOW. Doesn't really matter what you switch to. If you're used to IE then go to Firefox because it is quite similar, but a lot faster (IE is incredibly slow) Google chrome is the fastest, most easy to use, useful browser. It is. Trust me.

    Source(s): I have all the popular browsers on my laptop and i have used them all.

    I'm using Google Chrome right now but I have Firefox on my laptop and it's way better. I don't think Google Chrome can do toolbars.

    So yeah, do Firefox. IE sucks, btw. Also Safari is pretty bad when it comes to watching movies online and stuff. Like Hulu is **** on Safari.

    Not a big fan of Google Chrome, as it's REALLY slow for me, even though a bunch of people say it's the best browser ever. Personally I use Firefox and love it.

    Firefox and Chrome = Safe

    Safari and Internet Explorer = Unsafe

    while innocently writing my answer, telling you why not to get internet explorer, it CRASHED AND CLOSED DOWN ON ME. TWICE!!

    so writing this answer for the third time, i probably would NOT recommend that piece of ****

    google chrome is what youre after if you want simple fast browsing, but if you like your toolbars and want plenty of add ons firefox would probably be best. im not sure about safari but it seems most people agree on chrome or firefox

    internet explorer has let me down in the past year.... Mozilla firefox has stayed stable for the last year. However i see google chrome leading the way pretty soon.

    Source(s): I personaly use opera browser.

    Google Chrome. Very Fast! Toolbars--can be overrated to a degree. Based on stability and performance, here's the rank. #1 Google Chrome, #2 Mozilla Fire Fox, #3- Opera, #4 Internet Explorer, #5-Safari

    Google Chrome will only get better. If you are heavy into google: mail, talk, youtube, calendar, maps, wikipedia, reader, docs, voice, blogspot: all it is easy to navigate. Especially the incognito mode is sweet without the saving of cookies. It will only get better.

    out of the ones you've listed, I've had the least trouble with chrome. it's pretty darn good. I will never go back to IE, haven't tried safari and firefox has failed me countless times (I don't know whether it's just me or not, but I haven't gone back since using chrome).

    I do not agree with Harley Drive, Firefox will never do anything to harm you.And in my opinion it is still the best browser ever, I have tried each as they come out and return to Firefox.
