Internet Explorer was the first browser I ever used when I was younger. My mom had it downloaded on her computer, so I would use that. Only recently, due to the constant pestering of several ZD users , have I downloaded Chrome. I have to say, Chrome is so much faster than IE it's ridiculous. I use Chrome all the time now, and it's my default browser. My mother still goes into IE (because she doesn't know Chrome does the same thing IE does, but better), and I just squirm seeing how long it takes for IE to open up. Not to mention the fact that Chrome actually lets you see most of the screen. IE has the taskbar thing take up a good chunk of the screen. The one thing I do miss, though, is being able to add Favorites directly to the taskbar, but the speed I miss with the taskbar Favorites is easily made up for with Chrome's auto-finish. Plus, Chrome has built-in spellcheck. I simply love that, especially when posting. I'm a grammar buff, so spelling mistakes bother me a lot. But I really don't like opening Word just to use the Spellcheck feature.
I used a bit of Firefox, mostly on my friend's computers. It's alright, but I haven't used it enough to really judge. I haven't used Maxthon or Safari, but the Wii's and 3DS' browsers are actually powered by Opera, or so they say. I'm not sure if it's similar to the PC version.
