Tried tons of them, opera, firefox, IE (various versions), chrome, safari etc and although I am bias because of the mac side of things, firefox winds, closely followed by safari or IE but heavily tweaked
I'm liking IE8. Faster than previous versions of IE (and certainly faster than Firefox on my machine). Seems pretty stable as well, although only time will tell on that
If you use Privoxy and utilize the sandboxing within Google Chrome, then it is a very very secure browser now that the bugs have been sorted, in fact I would go as far as saying it is the most secure browser you can use.
Its not at all malicious though and is there to help the user, all but one can be disabled, leaving the only send out an RLZ identifier, which isn't personal to the user. If you wanted to disable that you can compile your own version using the source code
ah but then the wife will ask why do I always have to enter my name/password into Hotmail, and why dont we have any history
Just noticed IE8 has an "inprivate" browser session option which wont store anything of your current session without the need to delete current history
Web user magazine did a review of all the web browsers in the latest issue.
Top 5 in order (in their opinion )
1st - Firefox 3
2nd - Google Chrome
3rd - IE8
4th - Opera 10 Alpha
5th - Apple Safari
I personally use IE8, just coz it's what I'm used to. Tried Safari for a little while. Love the looks of it, very cool. Might give Firefox a try though.
