I downloaded Chrome a couple months ago and never went back (to Fox or IE) ...

I want NOTHING to do with Google. I’ll stick to Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox 3

Firefox is open source and yet one of the most stable browsers currently available. The latest version, Firefox 3 performs admirably and offers a familiar browsing experience. Its ability to handle more than thirty simultaneous tabs of complex websites without any problem is testament to its stability.

Its only weakness is that the more extensions that are added to it to customize and increase its feature set, the more memory it consumes and the more frequently it wants to download and install updates, which can become annoying after a while.

Hell, I can have 30+ tabs open in a single window, and still have several other windows open with a large number of tabs open in each, with no problem.

And the only extension I use is NoScript.

I like to open lots of windows and tabs and I like the feature of Firefox that saves them all if you want to shut it down. I’m not sure that is available on these other browsers. I haven’t seen it with Safari.

Bookmark management could be better on all browsers. You should be able to quickly port bookmarks between browsers.

I've been using tabbed & Ad Blocking shells for IE for years and see no need to change. Maxthon was my favorite now I'm kind of fond of TheWorld browser.

I’ve tried them all, and I’m sitll sticking with Firefox. It’s comfortable, I’m fast at it, and none of the others have enough features to pull me away.

Except I think I’ll play with Safari 4 a bit more. Some of the visuals look sweet, and useful.
