    I use Mozilla Firefox because it is easy to customize, has many themes, and is generally fast. It supports a wide variety of plugins that I use on a daily basis. They take feedback and suggestions into consideration a lot also so the browser is always improving. In addition, it has my favorite bookmark setup of all browsers I use. I also use Chrome and Internet Explorer, sometimes.

    For any of you concerned about your privacy, you can use tor browser. It is designed for anonimity since it is used for surfing the deep web. For those who do not know what deep web is, it is a part of the net not appearing in any search engine like google, This is because these sites might contain confidential data they don't want us to know or illegal pages (drug, weapons etc)

    I prefer to use Google Chrome now because I used Mozilla Firefox before in my old laptop. Now that I have new desktop, I use Google Chrome. Sometimes I still use Mozilla Firefox.

    On the phone, Firefox for its adblock addon. On the PC, Chrome, just because I'm used to it, and the multi-processed tabs mean it is a bit less prone to crashing.

    About me, Chrome and Firefox are used by me on a daily basis. But I like Google Chrome the most because of the gadgets and extensions, friendly platform, and at least for me, it crashes less than any other explorer.

    I use mainly Firefox, although for one site or another I prefer Google Chrome. IMO Firefox has less issues when opening certain sites and crashes less. In terms of speed they are the same IMO, only one site or another is fastest on Chrome. In what it concerns to security Chrome blocks certain contents that Firefox dont, but that is what makes Chrome crash a lot more so... But this diference in security is minimal :p so its up to the user to chose wich one he/she wants XD and the desing and interfance its so similar :p

    I have four internet browsers in my PC and those are Google Chrome,Opera,Firefox and Internet Explorer. But I usually use Google Chrome:) why? because it's fast, user friendly interface and Chrome has tons of amazing plugins. Also my favorite search engine is Google.So it feels kind of addicted to use Google Chrome:). I'm using Google Chrome for 2 years and unlike Internet Explorer, it never got crashed while I was surfing on the internet. So for me, I think it's the most important thing about Google Chrome.

    On the other hand, Firefox is a amazing browser too:). It's really hard to pick one when it comes to Chrome vs Firefox but I love Chrome a bit more than Firefox. I installed Opera browser last month and I use it like 5 times.So I don't know it's better than Chrome or not. Well...Internet Explorer is good but I don't like it. Because It's not fast enough comparing to Chrome or Firefox.

    I used to be a die-hard Firefox person until a year ago when I got a new computer and it had Chrome already installed. I started using it just to see what it was all about and quickly I fell in love with it. Since that day I've used nothing but Chrome on my laptop and desktop computers. I love how sleek and fast it is. I love how easy it is to customize. I love almost everything about it.

    The only gripe I have with Chrome is when it gets overloaded and slows down after you've been on the same page for too long. I read an article about the reason for this once, but I've since forgotten why it does this. It can be a bit annoying to reload a page but I deal with it. I still like it more than Firefox.

    I use chrome because it is the most detailed yet slick browser. Used to use Internet explorer before but Chrome is miles miles ahead of IE. Most forums even have that icon which you can add to youe browser and it will update itself automatically whenver there is a news etc. It gives you notifications as well. All in all, a complete browser.

    Personally I use UC browser for PC which was released a few months ago. I love UC browser because of it's sleek, elegant and simple design. UC browser also has an option Speed-mode, which help you load websites faster than in normal browsers. It also has Cloud Sync through which you can get all your bookmarks and settings anywhere, on any PC where UC browser is installed.

    Hi friend, I always use Chrome and Mozila Firefox. Why I use them? Because those browser have so many great Extension that can used while browsing. And I think it's really smooth when you browse something use both of them.
    So I recommend you guys to use it while browsing.

    I have both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on my laptop, but I prefer Google Chrome. I think Google Chrome has a good performance and always satisfy me. I have installed some plugin in Google Chrome too, but it still works good. Only one problem with Flash player that sometimes cause Google Chrome to crash, but I still like Google Chrome. A very good web browser for sure.

    I prefer to use Chrome. It is fast and rarely crashes on me. It also has some cool add-ons. I find that IE, Opera, and Firefox have all kept crashing on me as the required updates are done. I also felt they were kind of slow due to security precautions and too much going on with basic add-ons. I am not exactly a fan of Chrome but I just use it because it's speed and consistent service. It's worked like a charm for me for over three years.

    Hello there, I really find that the great browsing experience all started when Mozilla launched the great speedy and reliable browser:Firefox!Firefox has revolutionized in a way or another the way we browse the web.It created add-ons(which we all use in our daily life), it really took your previous browsing experience to a whole new level.Then, Google introduced the fastest internet browser:Chrome, which by the way is what I am using.To conclude the previous statements, I really think that as much I love google chrome, I always give credits to Mozilla for changing many perspectives about the user browsing experience.

    As a user of Mozilla Firefox, I must say that I tried all other browsers. Firefox is very stable, fast, and customizable in any way you can imagine. Not even to mention huge choice of add-ons. Chrome is well-know "memory eater", bare in mind that not all people have strong PC configuration with 8-16 GBs of Ram. Just open and take a look at processes in task manager. Although lesser offer of useful extensions. UI is matter of taste, but I preffer Firefox because I can adjust it however I want. Firefox has more frequent updates too. Internet Explorer is officially dead, replaced with Microsoft Edge. Never liked Opera, don't know why. Firefox will always be my choise considering browsers.

    I use Internet Explorer most of the time, mainly because that is the browser I started with many years ago and I do not like change. I have recently started using Chrome when I access Facebook because it just seems to work better for that. Occasionally I come across a site that just will not work properly on Explorer so I will switch over to Chrome to acess it. I do not have any trouble with Explorer crashing or acting up so i tend to use it most often.

    I love Chrome, it runs pretty smooth on my laptop. At the moment I'm fighting between that and the new Edge browser which I'm starting to really love because of how speedy it is on my system.
