I was told today that I am living in the Stone Age by continuing to use IE.

You and 68% of internet users. This number is shrinking, but it's not going anywhere just yet.

I use Firefox mostly, but it is frustrating because many web applications don't work well on it. I have to keep Internet Explorer open for applications like Salesforce.com.

Chrome is my browser of choice, overall, but I don't use it because most of our clients don't. In my opinion, Chrome is a much bigger threat to Firefox than it is to Internet Explorer.

I use Chrome everyday!

Firefox is sweet too....just a matter of preference.

IE is like an old granny that wants to keep you out of the sun.

For problems with Firefox and programs that run better in IE, try the IE tab add on
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

Sometimes it works, I think that is some of the confusing stuff for some people in firefox, is all the add on's extensions and what they are etc. Of course this is the same people with 7 toolbars installed in Internet Explorer

Chrome is nice, I have played a little with it, pretty speedy but still a little new.

I use Safari most often, but when I'm on a PC I use Firefox. I never use IE anymore, used too about 5 yrs ago.

Why are they better?

Firefox and Chrome are both better because only really smart people use them. In other words, it confirms our superiority. (I started using Firefox for the tabbed browsing, but now everyone has that, so I don't know why I keep using it.)

i have tried firefox and can't see any advantage over IE and i've made myself try it several times. i use IE8 and i like it and staying with it. I don't trust google enough to use their browser even though i do use their toolbar.

For most internet users, no browser will make a significant difference that will change your life.

I have not liked how IE tab works in Firefox.

I currently have all four major browsers on my computer for testing our applications.

Safari = simply don't use it unless your on the iPhone
Chrome = great browser; i think this is the future #1 browser (barring any other real players coming on board that are better)
Firefox = as overhyped as Mac computers ; it's a great browser but it's not changing anyone's life
Internet Explorer = if you are still using IE6, there are serious differences; IE8 is in the same class as FF and Chrome

I use firefox, I have less problems with live info such as refreshing scores and watching live sporting events like on MLB.com without getting booted offline. Maybe that isn't a browser problem but it seems to me that never happens when I use firefox
