I may have to give it another go, then.
Safari and Chrome
Firefox
Chrome. Isn't opera just based off the chromium project now?
Firefox FTW
Firefox
Then why not just use Chrome/Chromium?
In general, I use the default browser on whichever operating system platform I am using at the time. On Windows, it is Internet Explorer; Mac, Safari; and Linux, it depends - Firefox, Iceweasel, whatever. I use several operating systems at any given time, so the question does not make much sense in my situation.
One point: I try to keep Flash off my systems. If I must connect to a website that requires Flash, I use the Google Chrome browser, which has Flash built-in. Chrome is good about automatically maintaining current security updates. Just to make it clear - I do not use Chrome normally; I reserve it for a few websites that require Flash.
For most websites that say, "You must install Flash to view this content" - I treat it as a prompt to close the browser window. Most of the time, not having Flash installed is a blessing. There is very little Flash content on the web that I must see. The only thing that comes to mind is the web interface for creating one-time-use credit card numbers at my bank.
Opera is based on Chromium.
But Chrome have better speed, less memory and CPU usage, more optimizations. Google hides some cool features from open-source community, because they don't want Chromium-based browsers be better than Chrome.
Chrome is the best choice.
Firefox. On Debian, Chrome (Chromium) font rendering sucks.
Opera on Windows, Safari on OS X.
Firefox
IE of course.
Firefox === 1
I feel like those who voted for Internet Explorer are just trolling.
Not necessarily true. When I am on Windows computers, I use Internet Explorer. For one, I believe that Microsoft's own support websites work best with it. I didn't vote in the poll because I use many different browsers, usually whatever is the default for the OS platform, and I am often on several OSs at a time. If I were a Windows-only user, I might have voted for Internet Explorer. I note that the poll results for IE are very low.
Firefox ftw
2 years ago you would be pointed and laughed at. Today it's a reasonable choice.
IE11 is actually half decent.
I'm surprised with how many people actually use Chrome despite it being maintained by what originally started as a SEARCH ENGINE!! How do you trust them with your browse behavior lol. I wouldn't be surprised if they are transmitting more than just your browse requests.
I'll stick with Firefox.
I can only use chrome because I have a chromebook
Firefox. Dolphin on mobile, which I can warmly recommend.
Mozilla Firefox mostly, and Maxthon on Android.
I like chrome because it's beautiful.
I like firefox because it has huge useful extension library.
I like Opera because I feel comfortable while listening opera.
I like IE because it's faithful.
I cannot vote for any of them...
I use Chrome as it is fast in compare to other.
I was a Firefox convert from the first time I tried an early beta in late 2003. Loved it ever since, but in the last year or so it seems to take such a long time to open and load pages that other browsers open quickly. Seems like it's become a little too bloated. Shame.
And unfortunately your guess turned out to be right.
I dont want to say it is a bad browser - by far not - but we nonetheless (slowly) move yet again towards a monocultural browser ecosystem (similar to the good old IE-days).
Mostly Firefox and sometimes Chrome.
Chrome is faster for me. Especially on low-end PC's. I don't like to browse websites with speed of turtle. That's why i choose Chrome.
Mozilla at recent versions, I've dropped mozilla at version 4 to Chrome, and came back to Mozilla at version 29, it's at 33 by now, mozilla matured a lot in these latest versions
Mozilla's menu bar is a lot more practical and it consumes a lot less RAM than Chrome
