QuoteI was a DIEHARD Firefoxer for years.  Until Chrome hit the scene.  Chrome is the best browser available.  Lightest weight, most standards compliant, and fastest.  Firefox is still MILES ahead of IE but it's become a fat cow (memory hog) and over-bloated with features nobody uses or wants.  There are still some things Firefox does better than chrome (like their CSS3 color ramps/gradiations) but when using transitions Chrome is still much smoother so I can forgive the slightly less capable gradiations for smoother animations.

This is something I noticed when Peder and I were building my website.  The custom fonts and everything would show up in Chrome right away but we had to do some fiddling to get it into Firefox at the time and especially IE, and my site seems to load the CSS and highslide code about 2x faster as well.  Oh well, I'm still using firefox for some reason...probably because Google's little more than an NSA front company ;(.

This is why I use startpage.  Also, Mozilla was one of the few internet companies to come out against CISPA while loads of others, like Google, were strangely silent.

Love it.
I made a site for a private practice recently and even made sure it would work just fine in IE 8. When they looked at it, it was broken: they still use IE 6!

I used to build websites many years ago and quite often the phone would ring with "My images look shit!" or  something like that. You later find out their computer was made at the time of the great flood  (laugh)

I now use Google Chrome to browse. It uses Sandbox technology and so far has been great. Apart from testing the site in various browsers you can't determine how it will look on other computer systems, especially if they are very old indeed.

I never use IE.... It's to hackable..
