WHICH BROWSER TO USE?

There are so many browsers out there that it is difficult to know which one to use and why. Some of the most popular browsers are Firefox, Explorer, Netscape, Chrome, Flock, Opera, Safari, and Mozilla, to name a few.
Personally i like to use Firefox because it is fast and convenient. Firefox uses very little memory and thus wins over the other browsers.
Flock is a browser that is equally good. Reviews recommend Flock 2 for people who "live on the Web" because it has all the speed, security and options of Firefox 3 but builds in a blog editor, photo-uploader and big sidebar to keep current with social networking friends and RSS feeds. A horizontal photo bar shows thumbnails from photo-sharing sites. For those who love multitasking, this is a great browser choice, but for Windows users who just want fast, simple browsing, reviews recommend the minimalist Google Chrome.
The Google Chrome browser takes a minimalist approach, stripping down to basic browsing with an ultra-simple, intuitive interface. It very fast, with superb search features, private browsing and the best crash protection available. It also makes it possible to use Google desktop applications offline, and users can search the text of pages in the browser's history. The main drawbacks are fairly primitive bookmarking plus the lack of customization.
Another browser that i like stylistically is Opera. It is very simple and stylish. Despite its small size, Opera beats the other browsers in compliance with web standards, and it builds in loads of convenient features. Opera runs on more operating systems than most browsers, and it excels in synchronization.
Personally i do not like using Explorer because it is too busy with things. I found it also slower than other browsers. I do not know why exactly, but i feel a sense of repulsion towards this choice.
I would suggest sticking to Firefox or Chrome cause its just better. You know that feeling when someone is doing their job so well that you do not even know that they are there? Well, let me introduce - Firefox.
