IE9 is still just garbage IE with more polish on it.

Chrome and FF still the best unless we are talking corporate environment.

Corrected.

What's wrong with Chrome? A good addon library like Firefox has is all that I see missing, but it is much more lightweight than Firefox and handles many situations better.

I'm a web designer so I use IE 7/8, Firefox 3+, and Chrome on a daily basis. Of the three, Chrome is my personal choice for my non-work browser.

Well from what I seen on my friend's computer there is nothing wrong with it if you like 0 customization. :rolleyes:

Actually IE 9 is leaps and bounds ahead of previous versions in terms of standards compliance and speed.

Yeah I would like the hear the reasoing. I think IE9 runs better than any other browser for me personally. Not to mention as someone else said, the compliance is MUCH better and it is much faster. FF runs like shit for me though I do use Chrome sometimes too.

The problem really is that browsers are trying to almost become OS themselves. Incorporating everything from media playback to now with HTML5 applications in the cloud.
For a good solid browser I really like kameleon. It has been around a long time and focuses on being just a browser.

Or try lunascape, all the browsers combined in a single browser.

Alright, so with opera how the heck do I do a right click "save linked content as" on whatever this is:

When I click the get started now button it tries to open the exe is opera as a bunch of gobbeldygook.

Also, any way to clean up the rght click menu?
