  I love Lynx, it makes browsing ad-laden websites so much faster :)

I'm struggle every 3 months. I use Safari then go back to Chrome then go back to Safari, then go back to Chrome and so on.

Chrome because it's fast, and it integrates with iOS chrome nicely. Plus there's a couple extensions I use on a regular basis.

It used to be chrome. But over the last 6 months chrome has become a huge memory hog. I'm back to Firefox now.

  Memory hog? Have you tried The Great Suspender[1]? It's really handy when you have lots of tabs open. 1: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspender/klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspende...

Opera! Fast, innovative, and standards-compliant since before those things were cool! Also, mouse gestures are pretty rad.

It really depends on what are you looking for a browser, i you want speed, go with chrome, they developed a realy cool engine now call "blink" and it's fast, no doubt. But if you want a browser with less errors and you want to support a free internet and the use of real free software, use firefox, mozilla fundation is awesome and their comunnity helps eachother out a lot.

Firefox, latest version 24 on linux runs very nice. Firefox has been very fast and stable at least in the last 5 releases. I can't stand chromium ( I don't use chrome ), it lacks too many options and it's really annoying that it closes the browser when you close the last tab. It's a bug, not a feature, god dammit! All the extensions for it are just hacks that don't really work. I only open chromium for some weird site not really rendering well or that displays any bug with adblock turned on in firefox.
