I love using any Chrome clone, but hate Chrome browser. My favorite Chrome clone is Comodo dragon, which I have been using for at least a year now. It's very light weight and easy to use. Lately, I have been using Firefox though it's still very laggy. I need several browsers to use, and these are working for me now.

Personally, on a biased opinion, it'd be my own browser I had made, almost all the same features as chrome, but with a Metro style UI. Might look into the Chromium source and change it up a bit, restyle it etc.
I do like chrome as I've used it for quite a long time though.

Google Chrome for me. I extremely Hate Internet Explorer. Ugh. Can't stand it. Nor can I understand why anyone else wants to use it. Most people who still use it are those who don't even bother with other browsers or are using it because it is default installed on their windows computer.

Google Chrome for me as well. I feel like every other browser is either cluttered or trying too hard with the interface. Also, Chrome seems to run a bit faster compared to other browsers.

10+ processes (not including always on ones that run in the background even when chrome isn't open) and doubled memory usage nothx

Chrome, no questions asked. Also in response to those graphs, IE actually uses the least RAM in my experience, at least according to Resource Monitor, but whatever. Chrome does tend to use a lot but I'm always on pretty powerful computers, so it's fine. Chrome just has more features and benefits than all the other ones, especially since Google is taking over the internet.

Google is taking over the internet.
Please realize that a monopoly is a bad thing, not that Google themselves are a bad company, it's that they've been known in the past to very nicely cooperate with the NSA as long as they get their money's worth.

Google Chrome for me, lots of nice extensions (Adblock, Hola) although I would really like to see Greasemonkey added to it someday. Also incognito mode is awesome...for reasons...

I'm using literally any browser due to Web Developments I do. I do prefer Chrome over any of them though.

Oh no, I agree... It'll be hard to stop them, I was suckered into their services before I knew what was going on and now I'm pretty much tied in. IMO it's better than Microsoft or Apple taking over the tech world I guess.

I use Chrome any time I have a say in it. Can't really give you a reason why, it just seems to work.

All of the computers at work use Internet Explorer and it is just terrible by comparison.

I'm basic, I always use Firefox on my macbook, besides when I am using Netflix. You can't use Netflix on Firefox so I use Safari for that, but that's it. I recently downloaded Chrome to my macbook for something specific, but I don't think I like it very much. I can definitely say though that my LEAST favorite browser has to be Internet Explorer. It's the only browser on some of the computers at my school and it's just terrible!

My favorite browser is Google Chrome. I used to use Internet Explorer back when I had Windows XP, then moved on to Mozilla then eventually Chrome. I love Chrome because of its modern design and speed. Internet Explorer and Firefox have too many issues. I also use Google Drive and Gmail frequently, so Google Chrome just makes everything easier.

I use Google Chrome. I like it a lot. I have Safari and Firefox, but dislike those. I am currently working on my own browser for personally use.

I've recently been trying a nice Browser called "Maxthon" and it's very lightweight, has many nice cloud features/push to cloud options, and multiple tabs don't leak memory as horribly as either FF or Chrome. I was a Chrome fanboy for a long time, but have the addons of firefox (Adblock/noscript and such) with the sleekness of Chrome, Maxthon offers ready to go awesomeness. I'd advocate it.

Seems like a nice choice, I might have to look into that!

I personally use mostly Firefox, and sometimes IE when Im testing out site features.

Since being on Windows 10 I've taken a liking to Project Spartan. It's a big leap from Internet Explorer. Just tossing up between using Google Chrome and Project Spartan now.
