Firefox here. Using Firefox 4 x64 nightly in fact.

Chrome, looked at once, never again. Especially after that huge EULA mess they had with how if you use their browser to post anything (blog, news, forum post, etc.) they could use it and say it's their own. Forget it.

So I'm happily continuing with Firefox, using Adblock Plus paired with rick752's (RIP) EasyList* (whitelisting favorite/frequent sites), Tab Mix Plus, and DownThemAll (and a few other addons for website work like Firebug and Web Developer). I don't touch NoScript. I find it far too paranoid and annoying for my tastes.

*Avoid Fanboy's list, else you'll have tons of broken images on tons of websites.

I love Chrome, but Firefox wins me over with NoScript and AdBlock.

Opera is still good though. :)

@Conor55

Google Chrome has AdBlock and it's very easy to turn off the script in the settings menu.

Firefox with ABP and NoScript here. I tried Chrome several times but I don't like it. I also use Lynx when I need to search for something real quick and can't wait for my overloaded Firefox to start up; I have a bad habit of overloading things. I bookmark 1 out of like 5 pages I visit. You can imagine what's going on behind the scenes when I enter something in the address bar... lol

This is one of the major reasons I like Chrome over Firefox.

If you should have a fake scan page attempt to download a file and lock

the tab or browser you can use the build in task manger to kill that tab.

Nice feature but certainly not worth switching over to it, but don't worry, if that feature does well then Firefox and IE will eventually use it too :(

Bet once you try Google and get use to it you want ever want IE or Firefox again.

Sorry but with the history of Google "accidentally" providing private indexed data out to the public and some of their other marketing practices I would never use a Google browser period.
