For years, I've used Internet Explorer until the other day when I downloaded Firefox. My question: What is the best browser? I know a lot of people have Google chrome and others like it, but do you have a favorite?

Mozilla is open source, Microsoft isn't, Chrome is Google AND open source, so really can be trusted the least.

And pop up windows - IE is better for handling them.

Hmm... Well, I never found IE useful for that purpose. All the times I've used it I've suffered from immense lag.

That's because it's IE.

IE is never gonna die as long as adults who aren't tech savvy keep using it because it comes with their computer.

Pazzy speaks true, you know until we become adults and start being technologically capable.

Do not worry, IE's share has recently fallen below 50% for the first time.

I forgot that some day we will be adults.

My dad's uses FF. He told me off for using IE before I explained FF messes up my computer.

Your dad can now be considered pure win. Yes, your father is cooler than you are. Do you feel the shame yet?

I'm cooler than you though, so what does that mean

Anyway I use FF or Chrome >_> FF just messes up a few things. It used to anyway.

I can't really be sure about that Pazx. Neither Kyouzou or I know you that well to make a judgement on who is "cooler", whatever that is supposed to mean.

CT ftw.

Didn't some country in Europe force Microsoft to give people a choice of the browser they got?

Wasn't that the EU or something?

@knight_34 and Moe

Yeah, it's spread out all over Europe now. I think it's really useful and even tiny web browsers get the chance to show up.

I tried this totally unknown browser once and it was great, but I'll stick with Chrome. I think many people will go from IE to the "better" browsers from now on.

Isn't the EU great?

For serious.... Firefox is my fave, but I've used Chrome and Opera from time to time.

A picture can say more than a thousand words...

Lol, I remember that image. I've used it pretty many times and it's great, it explains just everything that needs to be explained. It usually ends conversations between the best browser too, but then comes the Firefox .vs. Google Chrome war.

Fire Fox and Chrome are epic because I use them and what ever I use has to be perfect because that is I, PERFECT
