Firefox

With so many add-ons and other applications Firefox is the best. And if comes to security Firefox has applications like WOT etc which make it secure. So why go for something which has just one thing that is highlighted.

Add your argument:

Google Chrome

idea posted by Rahul Shami Project Lead, GlobalLogic
Well its very early to say that Chrome is the best, but what all I have used it till date, I find it better than both IE 7 and Firefox. Also coming out of Google's stable it has to be the best.

In addition to Jaganmohan's view it is a beta version of a new open source browser i.e, .Google Chrome.a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn't the browser that matters. It's only a tool to run the important stuff - the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.

In Google Chrome,there is a foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better . By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox", we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. It help to improve speed and responsiveness across the board.

Chrome Strong Against Firefox And Safari, IE Untouched

 

Even though Google's Chrome has been publically available for less than a week, its Web browser market share has already reached over 1 percent.

According to reports from Market Share and Stat Counter, the new Web browser from Google is making inroads into relatively well established browser turf. As of 2 p.m. EDT, Market Share reports that Chrome usage was at 1.03 percent, down from its high watermark of 1.57 percent set at 4 a.m. EDT on Thursday morning. Stat Counter notes that the global market share for Chrome is at 1.15 percent on September 4.

Interestingly, Stat Counter takes the analysis a step further and reports that Chrome is grabbing worldwide Web browser market shares from Safari and Firefox.

On September 3, the day Chrome was announced and launched to the public, Firefox's market share dipped 0.82 percent, while Safari dropped 0.21 percent, giving Chrome a 1.11 percent share on the day. A day later, Chrome was up 0.04 percent while Firefox fell another 2.28 percent. Safari remained consistent with the day before, losing 0.22 percent.

Interestingly enough, the only browser that grew in the Web browser market was Internet Explorer, according to Stat Counter.

Internet Explorer, which recently launched IE8 beta 2, grew 0.23 percent on September 3 and posted even bigger gains on the fourth, ballooning an additional 3.06 percent.

Open source enthusiasts and Firefox advocates might be worried that Google's Chrome seems to be taking the biggest bite out of Firefox's market share, especially considering how long and hard Mozilla has fought for its browser to be more widely accepted.

But it's important to note that Chrome, less than a week old, has just over 1 percent of the browser market and is still a beta. While the might Google brings to table may eventually begin to shift what people use to browse, it will likely be a slow process.

Opera 10

idea posted by Davind Morph Employee, Tani Co.

just try Opera 10, it's so fast and got 100/100 from acid3 tests

some of the cool future in Opera are
1:very cool download management and supports BitTorrent
2:lighter than other browser(memory usage, test it yourself)
3:never lose any thing (sessions, no crash)
4:good appearance (skins, panels management)

and so on...

I always use Opera and Chrome

Though I am user of Firefox for ard 1 year, I feel firefox is memory hogging and many of the applications do not run in forefox.

Who said chrome is faster, even Netscape open gmail faster than chrome.

I agree IE has problem but it is universal browser, u can browse any sight on it, most easier to develop solution on and many more.

Even though it has lots of problem , and i hate it but i have to give my vote to IE

Is Java still considered "the language" for speed, robustness and scalability, or are coders moving to new languages like RoR
