I've been using Chrome for several months now and like it.

I tried Chrome, I didn't like the layout.

Opera is the best browser I have used to date.

You could have a s***load of spyware on your computer. Have you run a scan recently?

Firefox runs the fastest for me... also I have it customized so much I'd hate to leave it now.

+1 for opera ......... it's been my browser of choice for over a year now. It's fast and easy on system resources. The only time I need to use firefox is to watch netflix since they don't support the opera browser.

What about the layout don't you like?

It's actually my favorite layout so far, sleek and minimalist. Really easy to navigate.

That along with the really fast speed has kept me from returning to Firefox for a few months. But I've read some headlines how Chrome is spyware, and I've been meaning to look into that sometime.

I won't use Chrome because of all the code they put into it to track your browsing.

Tried Chrome, thought it was OK. Opera too, and the Windows version of Safari. But like USAF385, I've got so much fine-tuning invested in Firefox now that I am hesitant to drop it.
