What browser do you prefer?

Lately I'm having trouble with videos loading in Chrome. I used to use Firefox years a go but in recent years have been using Chrome. I don't mind using more than one browser but I do like to have a main one that I can depend on. I'm thinking its time to make the switch back to Firefox. Or is using multiple browsers for various tasks just the way it is now....

Just wondering what's your preferred browser?

Chrome, but find myself having to jump over to firefox every now and again for certain things.

Of course we are all devastated that IE is no longer an option :P - http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/17/82...explorer-brand

Chrome will generally boast higher performance when it comes to rich media e.g. videos, heavy sites etc. I like the web dev tools in FF and can't live without noscript, so I use Firefox most of the time.

I switch between the two main contenders frequently. Currently I use Chrome more for apps (memory management issues in FF) but Firefox for most browsing (better NoScript options). I also have various other things knocking around - sandboxed browser for looking at sites I don't trust but need Javascript on, Chrome Canary for some dev work, and IE for those irritating sites that only work in it...

Chrome for most work stuff, FF for spying ( thanks to many plugins ) , Safari for chilling / reading articles on the laptop since it uses very little battery.

Firefox for me.

Chrome can build up the video cache at times like mine and will crash out when I'm multi-tasking with many tabs on. Check if you have any conflicting add-ons installed.
