Seriously, some of you ought to get away from your computers and get a bit of fresh air. The paranoia is scary. If youre so concerned about who and what is evil then the answer seems pretty simple to me...... find a new hobby.

As for the topic, I agree with the general concencous:

FF sucks (has for years and in my opinion was only an option in the IE6 days). It's too bloated, super crash happy, and just "feels" wrong and alien regardless of what system its being used on.
IE Ive been fairly content with since version7. It's nice and stable and does what I need (and quite well). My only issue with it is that rendering can be a little off.
Chrome is also quite nice. Fast, good rendering and a lack of bloat. Perhaps I have different needs of the net, but Ive never found he ability to add shedloads of bloat (plug-ins) a positive (as is often the "defense" of firefox lovers). The 2 major qualms I have with Chrome is that shockwave is pretty crash happy (although thankfully it rarely brings the browser itself down and a refresh will usually fix it), and that there's no zoom function (very handy when running a browser on a 1920x1080 tv when sitting 12 or so feet away).
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
