This poll is not really for anything, I just thought it would be fun.

If the browser that you think is best is not on the list, choose 'Other' and post to this topic and I will add it.

Haha, Chrome has 100% of the votes. I guess we win.

Lynx :-p

Linux is an operating system. But as for Lynx,

Lynx is for visually/hearing-impaired people, or those with extremely slow internet connections.

Oops... When I added Lynx the poll reset. Please cast your votes again.

I voted for Firefox. While I only use Chrome right now (and actually don't even have FF installed on my new computer...) because of it's simplicity, I still think FF is a better browser even if it was a bit more of a memory hog than Chrome. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

For lighter weight operating systems on older computers (i.e. Puppy Linux, D*mn Small Linux) I use Chromium even though FF sometimes comes as default. Firefox has more plugins that I would use, and it has more (on the surface anyhow) user-changeable settings than Chrome. Anyways, for anyone with a decent computer, I would recommend Firefox.

Chrome in the lead, with Firefox close behind. The other browsers haven't even left the starting line! Vroooommmmm... Phew Phew! Cough! Ack! Vrooo--- CrWHOOM! SWOOSHH---TCHZSHSHHHHHH...

I like MF/FF*, but it doesn't have the speed and stability of Chrome. (Chrome 9-11 kept crashing on me**, possibly because of some of my extensions, but Chrome 12 seems to have fixed the issue. And using -process-per-tab doesn't hurt either. )
