Because it's an awesome browser. Why are you still using IE?

You keep your Internet Explorer monolith of slowness, I'll keep my rocket launcher Chrome.

I hardly think what browser a person uses constitutes stupidity.

Well at the very least it's better than fighting over what forum skins we use.

Because everyone already knows Industrial is the best.

' the shit? Why Scabface? Just why? I seriously doubt you've tested out Google Chrome because if you have, you would know how much faster it is. Other than that, stop belittling us because of which browser we use ffs. We seriously don't care which browser you use and we certainly wouldn't call you stupid because of it.

Stop being so childish and just accept that you're outnumbered. Chrome seems to suit everyone except you which might just mean your computer is shit.

I use the original Netscape. AM I SMART NOW?

I use to use Chrome but it looked out of place next to my Mozilla Thunderbird icon on my desktop, so now I use Firefox, just so it's all nice and neat.

That's not how these things work.

He's entitled to his opinion, but if he wants to keep telling it to us he'd better get to explaining himself. Why are you anti-chrome?

I’m not scrabface so his views may differ to mine, but I don’t like Chrome because I don’t like the UI aesthetic – Chrome feels like it’s made from chunky plastic to me, and I prefer the look of Firefox or Opera.

And second, I’m not a fan of Google as a company, and don’t enjoy the thought of them sniffing through my browser data.

They can sniff through my browsing history if they do already, no doubt they'll not want to look again after the first time though.

Ha, same boat kiddo.

I use Firefox because, as Phylum mentioned, it's neat and simple. Never again will I use IE or Shiira (Even Safari is better than it.) As for Chrome, it's never struck me as something that I would want to try and by even looking at it and its "aesthetically pleasing" UI it put me off even more.

It might be good, don't get me wrong, but I'll never find out.

I use Firefox. I've tried Chrome a few times in its lifetime, but it simply doesn't have the clean, alterable interface and powerful, modifiable behaviour I rely on to use the internet.
