I love Chrome but I also love Firefox for it's add-on capabilities.

I use Chrome (dev build) as my main browser and Firefox 3.6 for web development. I take advantage of SpeedTracer (Chrome add-on) but I also use about five different add-ons in Firefox for web development purposes.

I also use IE8 (shocking!) but only to make sure that the site I'm developing isn't broken by Microsoft's browser since it currently used by 22.52% of web surfers.

Basically it comes down to this:

Am I developing something that will be seen on the web? If so, I mainly use Firefox and IE8.

Any time that I'm on the web but not doing web development I use Chrome.

EDIT: Added the source of the "IE8 has usage 22.52%" information.

lol well as long as your not a fanboy that says all other browsers suck thats cool.i dont generally use add-ons so using firefox seems obsolete for me..and IE8 is just..yikes!

and what i really hate are govermental sites and old sites like the ministry of taxes and ministr that you cant view them properly using chrome cause they are so damn old..another reason to hate IE8

mods go home

Fast ain't everything. If it doesn't block ads I'm not interested.

Chrome does have a AdBlock extension. Check it out here. It's probably not as good as ABP but it's still a step in the right direction.

Thanks. I might take another look when the extension is more developed.
