Personally, I prefer Chrome, but I don't see any major differences between the three.

I don't really have any favorite as I believe that they all have major flaws in their coding and design. I have tried Google Chrome but I didn't really like it as it lacked many add-ons that I use in firefox e.g. chatzilla and adblock. So in the end I'm happiest with FireFox, but Chrome is very good for people that don't need the add-ons.
As for M$ Internet Explorer, I don't like it at all as it's much slower for me.

I have only used explorer, so that's what I chose. I currently use Safari.

I voted firefox because it has the built in spell checker but I use IE because I am able to view youtube videos and all my book marks are here.

Firefox all the way. I've tried Chrome and I can't get to grips with it. It's like IE7+

I use Firefox. IE is essentially a virus.

On a more positive note, I never have any trouble seeing YouTube with Firefox and you can sync your bookmarks on it as well.

I personally think that google chrome rocks out of all of the other browser as it is normally very fast to load up and fast to load up pages ago... But what it's lacking is security. :(

I also use firefox as it's the most secure and the most easiest to use also with a built in spell checker aswell with google chrome.

Those are my top two browsers that I use. :D

I generally use Firefox on Mac/Linux and Opera on Windows. Not that there's anything wrong with the Windows version of Firefox, but Opera is much faster on that platform and just as good a browser.

in terms of functionality, Firefox and IE are probably comparable (I hear Chrome is stripped down for speed, so it may not be as 'feature-rich' as the other two)

Firefox works for me, so I use it...

chrome has those extensions.

Chrome's adblocker is incredibly flaky compared to adblock plus. Also, Firefox/Seamonkey is the only browser with NoScript.

IE is the forced standard by windows (There is a debate about this online - which I think they're now letting you choose) which is slow and the interface I thought was horrible.. its just like their new MS_Office; I preferred the old layouts.

Google Chrome is the fastest browser but has some serious security flaws. One useful thing I found about this browser was that it could be run off a USB stick quickly which provides a sigh of relief when your at college trying to work; unfortunately IE is linked to some MS_Office syncing system which goes horribly slow.. Using Chrome saves 15 minutes waiting time for Microsoft's syncing to complete.

Firefox is the best browser I've come across. It has security, addons and customisability. I would keep using this browser if it were for the original start-up times being so slow. For long term browsing its ok, but if you want to view a link quickly that was passed to you by a mate, then you want to actually see whatever it is instead of waiting 2 minutes (various depending on addons) just for the program to load.
