how good is safari and opera? those two i have not tried and have been thinking about trying out

I really dont think there is a 'best' browser. I really think its down to preference.

yeah, although tomshardware had a time comparison between the 4 or 5 we've been talking about, and i think crome was actually the fastest normally, or 2nd occasionally, only was behind 3rd once i think and was 4th, but there was like 20 test too so yeah. (i am a chrome fan so some of that may be selective memory, but i am almost positive chrome did actually have the lead most of the time).

i did read something about a bunch of tests and chrome was first overall, opera right behind, and safari, then firefox, then IE

i just have to point out from the earlier comment on ie being fine nowdays being b.s.

If a browser puts your computer through its paces, you have some issues.

Secondly most recent benchmarks disagree with you - Independent analysis

Also, as discussed here, all of the browsers these days are pretty much similar in speed

Bottom line... certainly in real-world testing it’s hard to see a difference between the browsers

So it comes down to compatiability. And as I have seen, there are many times where FF and others just are not compatiable with applications I use. So for me, there is no difference in performance and I need compatiability.
