Chrome is the best. I use IE if I have any issues with Chrome.

Mozilla firefox, tried out chrome, didn't like it

now that I am at work I have to use firefox :rolleyes:

used chrome at home last night for about 30 minutes and it is awesome, it seems faster than firefox, my issues with deleting my passwords is now gone, I will use it for a few weeks and see what happens :D

IE might seem fine but it does your PC more harm than good in the long run. It's the standard browser for every PC user so its the main browser that gets targeted by people who make spyware, adware, and all other kinds of shit that'll fock up your computer.

Just another added bonus for having a Mac. Don't have to worry about any of the spyware, adware bullshit or any viruses. They are pretty much non existent to Mac users.

...yet.

The larger market share they capture, the more this will become a threat.

I don't think so. Apple is great with their security and updates they provide. Its not like these people haven't tried, its just not worth their time to create something and have it not work because Apple puts out an update immediately.

I think this will not be the case. If hackers see a market, you can't stop them. You can only write patches when you find them. The larger the market share (it's not big enough yet to warrant the effort), the more likely hackers will start spending their time on it.

No browser, app, website, etc. is hacker-"proof". It's not a reality.

That's like saying a bank can't be robbed. Haven't you seen Ocean's Eleven. :)
