    Recent usage is more of Firefox 4 beta 8 and now 9. With earlier betas, a lot of my add-ons did not work. Those add-ons now work. Plus, the look and speed is much better. If this is the way for Firefox, I am permanently going back to Firefox (went to Chrome for most of 2010/windows 7 after using Firefox from 2005-09).

    Yeah, Chrome all the way.

    Was always a FF lover but w/ Chrome's ability to work with extensions made me switch browsers.

    I've used Opera for years, tried many others but always back to Opera. As canouna stated above "Opera is THE browser". All the best features of Firefox and IE have been taken from Opera over the years. Features such as tabbed windows, popup blocking, W3C compliance, skinning and many more were implemented in Opera a decade before other browsers. It's fast, light yet full featured.

    Take care

    At this time, in order:
    First Place - IE9 RC (for me it never stop working :cool:)
    Second Place - Firefox 4.0b11

    I won't rank Opera, not by the speed, but by the usability.

    Chrome has just released ver 11.0. Have not seen much improvement since ver 5.0 except that perhaps pdf are difficult to save and more downloads complete before they actually complete. They go from eg 9.0... to 10.0 and then to 11.0. No such 10.1 etc. At this rate, we will soon be seeing ver 20. before end-2011. Opera is at 11.0, IE at 9, and FF at 4. But after using FF 4 beta, I have found it to be much better. Of course, IE is the max compatible, plus downloads do complete. Just yesterday because of active x /akamai problem on technet and IE, I had to rely on chrome to download both windows 7 enter. SP1 and wind. ultimate SP1. Both finished downloads at around 2 GB each. As the iso is close to 3 GB, that meant 4 GB of wasted bandwidth.

    FF is much better now, but I will still trust bigger downloads through IE.

    PS: Can anyone tell me a sure way to disable this google toolbar entry. It is the most irritating. Have tried everything and unlike disabling of other entries (which once disabled stay that way), this notifier entry has a very irritating habit of regularly enabling itself on its own. The other option is to completely uninstall the toolbar.

    HKCU:Runswg"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe"
