    I have same order as Grif... I hate Internet Explorer. It's so unorganized.

    Safari puts everything you need right where you'll use them most.

    I use chrome.

    It has the "incognito mode", for, and I quote:

    "Times when you want to browse in stealth mode, for example, to plan surprises like gifts or birthdays."

    Nice save Google, nice save.

    The only thing I do not like about Google chrome is that you can not click the left and right button at the same time on this laptop and get the little scroll button where you can move the page up and down just by moving your mouse up and down. Is there a way to enable that feature on it?

    Recently I've given up using Firefox exclusively. The awesome Firefox features are just so damn awesome. I can't live without StumbleUpon and Cooliris. But Firefox has also been retarded lately especially with Youtube and other Flash sites. So Safari and Firefox.

    The only reason I've switched from Firefox to Chrome is because Firefox keeps crashing and Mozilla hasn't bothered fixing it for half a year- and then Chrome is faster. Otherwise I would use FF due to its many useful addons and cool themes.

    There's a point, themes.
    Chrome's got theme changing tutorials on websites, but when I try to change them, they just break the browser, and I have to re enter the settings (because I backup EVERYTHING).
    The theme I've currently got is fine, but it could look cooler in black or something.
    Anyone got any Ideas?

    Safari has done this for a long long time, at least a year, possibly two.

    No it hasn't, I've never seen a "Private Browsing" type mode in Firefox.

    You're deleting an Internet Browser based on the fact it crashed once?

    Maybe you should get a better computer.

    Chrome has NEVER crashed on me, and, ironically, Firefox crashes every half hour, and when it starts to crash, it crashes three more times.

    I have to agree with aMoeba there, Firefox crashes more often than Safari 3, Safari 4 Beta or Chrome on my girlfriend's laptop!

    I use Google Chrome and then Safari at a close second. GC is VERY fast as compared to most other browsers.

    D/L chrome, use for a while.

    You'll never go back. It's amazing.

    (If you don't do a xxAl Capwnagexx and give up on it the first time you try it without using it properly)

    I'm using Safari 4 now, but I might download Google Chrome to see how it is...

    EDIT:
    I'm using it now, and it is amazing!
    It's so much more high-tech looking, and twice as fast as Safari, which was twice as fast as Firefox, which was twenty times better than IE.
