Although a few months back when we were having problems with the site messing up, I switched to firefox and it fixed everything. I still use chrome for the incognito option.

From a performance standpoint, chrome>opera>safari>firefox>i.e.

I prefer Opera for its simplicities and smooth running abilities. Never crashes (for me). Runs exceptionally well on older computers or slower connections. Opera out of the box offers much more than firefox in terms of features. It also uses the least memory of any of the browsers listed. It is really more of a preference than anything when it comes to browsers.

Given a choice, chrome is probably the best all around browser. There is nothing wrong with firefox or opera though. I.E. is garbage by any comparison.

Never used chrome or opera but imo safari is not better than firefox. Not even close in comparison.
