I've used Opera for years and have used Firefox too. Past iterations of Opera have had trouble with some web sites. Also, Netflix doesn't work with Opera.

I've thought I was dumb because the latest version of IE is so difficult for me to use.

"Past iterations of Opera have had trouble with some web sites"

For what it's worth I've found that using the "mask as IE" or "Mask as FireFox" (edit site properties, network) option on problem sites usually fixes that.

As for Netflix if you use the "Mask as FireFox" option it'll work as if you use "Mask as IE" it wants to run ActiveX.

I think this is more of an early adopter bias
To want to use a different “box”
One needs to be able to see “out of the box”

To be able to see more requires being able to see differently
That is not to say that it is wise to do so
Sometimes the box is there for a reason

I tried Chrome and liked it till I discovered it didn’t work with a few online pay sites like the USPS.

MS IE 8 with Microsoft Security Essentials is my recommendation. Essential is protection from the author of the OS and browser. Essentials is free.

Just had another buddy go down with malware using a free product. We're all getting 3-5 eMails a day from him.

There is a reason MS is on top and most used.

In the grand scheme of things, if one or the other works for YOU, who gives a crap?!

Chrome is best for me for web browsing, Firefox for web development

Like others, I’m running FF 5 on a Win7 machine. No problems loading — works like a champ. My only issue is (and this isn’t FF’s fault) that Verizon’s web page doesn’t load properly. After much time expended with their tech support in trying to figure out why I couldn’t access my address book, we concluded that it doesn’t work with FF — only with IE. So I pulled it up in IE — no problem. Still, I like FF better than IE. Not as cluttered, easier and quicker to use.

I’ll bet that the same thing can be said about Burger King. The more you “have it your way”, the higher your IQ. People who get their burgers with the standard condiments have low IQ and people who know they want something different, and ask for it, have high IQ.

Also, milk. Those with low IQ take the jugs with old expiration dates, those with high IQ take the jugs with recent expiration dates.

I don’t think there is much info here once you remove the noise.

Chrome.
Fast, light, secure.

I guess the fact that IE is already installed on almost every PC sold has no impact on the validity of the study.
