My Thoughts
Firefox
Pros:
Is pretty fast
You can adjust settings in ;config
Good Community
A hell of a lot of addons.
Cons:
Is not very user friendly
Cannot manage more than 15 tabs without lagging
Some addons will glitch, which means "restart the browser, reinstall the addon!"
My score : 6/10
Internet Explorer
Pros:
Comes built into a Windows computer.
Very modifiable
Can hold a lot of tabs
Cons:
I Believe it only comes with a Windows computer(correct me if I am wrong)
Un-friendly user interface
Oh soo many bars
Not very fast
My score: 4/10
Google Chrome
Pros:
Is fast
Sleek design
User friendly
Can manage a lot of tabs
Getting the feel of the ropes is easy.
Can load Extensions (Thanks for the heads up Devic3)
Cons:
Sometimes it can be a hassle and not load a web page :< , but refresh it :]
My score: 9/10 (I am writing it with Google Chrome.)
Armix8's thoughts:
Google Chrome:
[+] Looks and Feels so User Friendly and Pleaurable
[+] Natively allows the intergration of Monkey Grease scripts, seemlessly.
[-] Unfortunately some websites do not display properly, or have compatibility issues.
e.g. some websites use scripts to confirm correct browser version (e.g. IE) because website is either under developed or not scripted to be forwards compatible. www.mathletics.com.au -is a good example as my younger sibling could not access the site in chrome but in IE it worked perfectly. (secrurity certificate).
Internet Explorer (Version 8)
[+] As explained, above it displays webpages that have been scripted poorly/strangely.
[+] Lots of compatible toolbars for IE (not that I use them. )
[-] Greasemonkey plugins/scripts are nice but last time I checked they could only be used with either Chrome or Firefox Natively (IE requires some kind of plugin that enables all this).
[-] Looks nowhere near as nice as other browsers like Chrome.
[-] I'm rather sure they dropped theme support back around version 5 or 6. (important?)
[?] It's alright I guess.
Firefox
I haven't used it for a while but I semi-judge of memory ... :S
[+] Advanced customization and theme support. (You can make it look like Safari...)
[+] Internal Download Manager, feels (felt...) a tiny bit faster last try.
[-] Long full name ... (Who am I kidding, what kinda critisim is that!?)
[-] Doesn't feel friendly. A bit bulky.
HINDYhat's Opinion
Internet Explorer: No comments really need to be made. It's not an option.
Firefox: Incredible memory usage, starts off fine and turns into a mess. Also, rendering issues.
Chrome: Starts off fine, then spawns 100 processes. Incredible CPU usage.
Safari: Not entirely sure, it's terrible on Windows but I've heard it's really good on Macs.
Opera: Good CPU usage, good memory usage. I've had a few issues with select sites, but in terms of resource usage, Opera is by far the best in my experience.
