The best Windows browser today: IE 10 or Chrome 25?

[nommy the first]

Hmm, a slow browser, or a browser provided by a company that sells all my info.. No thanks to both.

My vote goes to Chromium, Firefox Nightly and Ice Dragon.

 

[Rockfella]

Mine goes to Firefox!

I use both and chromium in linux fuduntu...
ie10 is faster and more secure

The best browser is not a choice. Firefox

Sigh......the article is about some tests run between Chrome 25 and IE10, to see which performs better, since both new versions were released within a few days of each other. Hence the poll only covers those two browsers - read the article to understand the context of the poll.

I just went by what the title says Sigh....

This is one reason why some forums repeat the OP on every new page.

You probably should have included an "Other" option, as lots of people hate IE and/or Chrome.

Chrome 18! Latest builds have messed up with text rendering. Everything appears blurry on my old CRT with Chrome 25 whereas sharp with 18.

Like many others I have all three with the preference :Firfox, chrome, IE. Firefox update process seems to be breaking many things so this may change for me. But chrome whacks both IE and Friefox performance-wise, it just doesn't have some of the features I want.

Opinions on the best browser are like opinions on the best motor oil. Everyone has there favorite(s) but they all seem to get the job done in the way a user applies it. I would think it rare that all users visit the same web pages or option their browser the same way just as there is no two desktops the same. But it's interesting to read the comments on why their browser is best.

So, here's my opinion;
Other than an occasional search (Bing is default), I don't load Google anything on my PCs so Chrome is out. The last time I tried FF, it was crap (Updated too often and kept crashing. Also seemed to need add-ons for everything.) so it's out too. Never saw the need to try it again. All the others are too different from what I'm used to and have less features. I like Windows IE because it's Microsoft and appears seamless with the OS. What can I say; I'm just an old fogy.

I have become a big fan of the Mozilla *Aurora* browser. The current version is very snappy, I get daily security updates and it's not as bloated as the previous Mozilla builds. If I had to chose from the 2 choices given, I would pick Chrome, simply because I do not use IE at all. I turn IE off in system features.

Aurora is technically an alpha version of Firefox. I tried it before, but it's too unstable for long web browsing sessions at least on my computer. At least memory management in Firefox is better than Chrome even with many addons enabled.

Have they patched the memory leak issues with Firefox then?

Hi there
What about THIS one (IE 11 from Windows 8 BLUE edition --leaked recently )

Cheers

I am using the Nightly Builds (Firefox 22) and it is quite fast and I have no memory leakage. All of the modern day releases of Firefox do use a great deal of memory.. Mozilla can't hide it amongst other Windows service the way MS does with IE.

I have abandoned all other browsers in favour of IE10, after using it with windows 8 I love it and was very happy to have a windows 7 version. Won't change back anytime soon.

 

[galaxys]

I tried ie10 which is better than ie9. But I still like Chrome better!

Chrome (Google) is too intrusive. Their constant need for my personal information and habits has shown me that I don't want anything to do with Google. I also don't like their attitude toward InPrivate Browsing. I use their search only occasionally and wipe cookies right after. I don't care how good their software might be, I won't have it on my system. But of course, I'm not in the demographics they're after anyway.

I have moved to The Firefox 20 Beta Builds for awhile as the change to Firefox 23 will start this coming week.
