Re: What is your favourite browser?
It has always been Firefox for me. I tried Chrome once, but it all seemed a bit too sleek, and it made my computer on the whole run signifcantly slower. Annoyingly though, Firefox 4.0 looks very much like Chrome; I prefer the old ways with customisable backgrounds and a novelty-sized refresh button.
