    2015 Internet browser poll.

    Which browser are you currently using? Post why in your a comment.

    I am using Chrome because of the bookmark/extension syncing. I've been having some issues with it and some extensions I use (memory leaks), but I have a hard time switching to other browsers like Firefox because I like the extensions on Chrome better than the addons on Firefox. I mostly use Google Hangouts (which does have a Firefox addon, but it doesn't work as well), and a few others for work that aren't available for Firefox.

    Still Firefox. They remain the most ethical company, which is something I value.

    Firefox with Adblock Plus and Ghostery for everyday use. Internet Explorer for work. Chrome on my phone.

    Firefox has that too


    I use Firefox personally. Switched from Chrome after 27 where they made all the menus so large that I suddenly pressed all the wrong buttons.
    Use Firefox, Chrome and IE for work.

    Going to try Spartan when W10 is released.

    I use Firefox. Other than Adblock I don't mess with addons/extensions so I've never had a reason to leave Firefox.

    Is Firefox linked to your phone/youtube/mail too? Convenience is why I use Chrome.

    Using Opera. I began using it and stuck with it because I loved how the homepage and tabs worked. Most of what I loved is gone now (key shortcuts for sites on the homepage, tab stacking) but I still like it over Firefox/Chrome. Guess I'm mostly just used to it so now I don't want to change.

    No clue. On my phone I use my Google account for contacts and Opera Mobile for browsing.

    I usually leave tabs open on my PC and close chrome(X-close, not close tabs), then on my phone in bed I can continue reading/watching if needed the same tabs that I had open on PC.

    Chrome because I like Google and it works great with all their other stuff like Inbox, YouTube or even Google Plus. It's also awesome together with Google accounts on my phone.

    Other.

    Waterfox, a variation of Firefox.

    Not sure why you put variations of chrome as an option but not Firefox.

    Chrome. I used to use Firefox, switched when it derped out for a while and since I got used to Chrome with all the google syncing to my phone and whatnot I just haven't bothered switching back.

    I used to have firefox but, I don't know why, it was bugging out a lot, something to do with the tabs, I don't remember... It was also pretty slow at the time compared to Chrome.

    Right now I'm using Chrome and have been for a good while. It's faster than Firefox was when I dropped it and it's just good overall for me and I haven't had any issues for a long time.

    I wasn't aware that Firefox had different variations. I know Chrome has Canary and a few others.

    Using Firefox. Last time I tried Chrome was a few months back and it had massive issues with video quality (same video from same source and it was far lower image quality than Firefox was giving me).

    I used Opera for the longest time. Had an issue where is chopped off half the description on an Amazon page. Thought I was buying a retail box gaming mouse for a friend but it was actually a bulk item. When the seller sent me a screen cap I was confused until i fired up IE/firefox/Chrome. All three properly showed the page. Been using chrome since then. Opera was great though aside from not properly displaying webpages :P Hopefully they have since fixed that issue.

    ninja edit: you are now the 2% per poll results ^^
