What web browser do you use?
I use Google Chrome, and I was wondering if anybody else uses it.
And which one do you think is the best?

My default browser is Google Chrome, however, I do have most browsers installed on my machine to test various websides. I like Firefox as well. IE has some advantages, but it is also highly targeted for malware and other attacks. It isn't as much that it is less secure, but more that it has the largest installed base, and many businesses have not upgraded to recent versions. Opera is popular in that is is installed on some cellphones and is also powering the Internet Channel in the Nintendo Wii (although it is a modified version.)
As long as you don't need a feature or function that is only available in another browser, Google Chrome is probably your best choice if available on your selected platform.

I have tons of web browsers installed but I only use a few of them.
I use Google Chrome the most on Windows 7, some others I use are Minefield (Firefox nightly builds) Frefox 4 Beta, IE8 and the Internet Explorer Platform Preview (IE9 preview builds).
On Linux I use Firefox the most, then Chromium as a side browser.

Google Chrome has less Framework done to their Web browser, Internet explore is too slow with all the security options that is on the browser. Firefox has less features but still is pretty fast but, I do use Google Chrome just because of less frame work.

Google Chrome all the way, baby. I used to be a fan of Firefox until about version 3 when it started to get sluggish. What a shame, it was a great browser. Then Chrome came along. The first thing I noticed was its simple layout, compared to the other big players. I decided to try it for a while and they really aren't bluffing when they talk about the speed. I haven't gone back.
It took me a while to get used to the bookmarking style, but everything new has a learning slope. I also like how it doesn't bug you to download a file, it saves it automatically.
As for IE... I haven't used it since I was a naive 13 year-old. Ha, I just tried opening it in Windows 7 and it asked for initial setup. I've had this one installed for 3 months. Poor Microsoft... I feel sad now.

I use Chrome too. I would say you should stick to Chrome because of it's performance, it's good also at security and it is user-friendly. The one thing that i don't like is the extensions. They were not the best but Firefox only has the best extensions.
I'm using Chrome but i'm using the Developer Release version.

Well I use Firefox, IE 8, Safari, Opera, Google Chrome, and Usejump.
Based on statistics and user experience, I say Google Chrome.

yes I think Google chrome and Firefox both are very useful browsers depending upon their functionality and requirement of user
for speed chrome is better because Firefox uses some internal procedures to check dns working status, reminding addresses checking database for password likewise
so technically the Firefox is best and for flexibility in use chrome is best
some people have experience with opera also! and they said it is more sufficient than Firefox
but I think its not at all

I use IE only because I have a 64 bit computer and the 64 bit IE seems to be a lot faster than any browser out there. Although, Firefox is coming out with mozilla minefield, a 64 bit version of firefox. That should be really nice. The bad thing about it is that there still is no flash player for 64 bit unless you are using Linux, which I am not. When I want to use flash, I use opera. It isn't super fast like Firefox, but, since I have a good internet connection anyway, speed isn't too important. I use opera because it is very user friendly and the GUI is fantastic. I love the speed dial effect.
