Question Which one?

My new Laptop is giving me the option of a load of browsers ... any idea which one is best?

Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE8, Opera, FlashPeak, Flock, Green Browser, K-Meleon, Sleipnir, Avant and Maxthon ................ ?????????????????????????

Safari is Apple so not really excited by that ... Firefox I have heard of.

I find AOL works perfectly well and the software is friendly to use.

The ones i use are -

Firefox or Chrome

Firefox i like the best because of all the add ons but it can be slow on older or less powerfull machines.

DOnt like internet explorer due to all the issues and never tried safari.

IE for everyday
