recommended trying Chrome, so I may just have a go just for a comparison (and to see how true these claims are that it is quicker).
The new version of Opera ( 10.5) is just as faster and in some cases faster than Chrome

Oh really?... I haven't used Opera in many years and last time I tried it (probably around 4/5 years ago!) it seemed quite bloated and slow. But may give it another shot in that case!
The big winner will be Chrome as most people see google as the web. It already has a massive following in the non technical group too...
FF all the way, I was always under the idea IE was more of a hackers choice and spam due to all the average joes using it..

IE was the hackers choice because it was insecure and it allowed the execution of so much code it was dangerous. We're talking IE6 here though things have gotten a lot better since then with activex controls and UAC governing IE7+ there is no real hackers choice anymore.More because it has the majority of the market. If FF (or any other browser for that matter) become dominant the hackers will start developing for that browser more instead. Why spend time writing an exploit for a minor browser when you can catch far more people by writing for the most popular (this is essentially the same as mac/windows, why write a virus for an OS that only 8% of people use when you can write one for an OS that 80+% of people use).
Opera seems to have the least to offer browser wise, if you're an idiot you use IE, if you love to customize your browser use firefox, if you love google and buy their hype use chrome, if you're a mac lover use safari, opera really doesn't have a big name or a big reason behind it.Surprised at the lack of Opera love, apart from the internet browsing itself, which I really don't notice much difference between any of the others
Same. I hate FF with a passion, it's damn slow to load up and has no real benefit over IE (except for plugins, which I don't use except an exif reader that is available for IE). It also has a fugly UI by default.
Not even this?FF offers me nothing over IE that i'd use
