    You could pick up Lindsay Lohan for less than a intel 990x, and still have money left over to bail her outta jail

    Opera? Safari? Other?

    I'm a hardcore Opera fanboi.

    Edit: I guess the correct response would be "No, I haven't upgraded to any of those". This isn't a usage poll. My bad.

    FWIW, my Opera is current @ 11.01.

    I'm slowly converting to Chrome.

    Firefox 4 on one of my VMs. Probably will do that at home as well.
    Am I alone here? Is that it?
    Am I the only one who sees.

    Maybe we can learn to be just like him.

    Yes, sir.
    No, sir.
    Thank you, sir.

    I've stuck with chrome since it came out. It *seems* faster too me. I also like their layout more.

    Tom's Hardware Guide thought so too (though this is from a year ago). Chrome and Opera came in pretty much tied but they gave the nod to Chrome. It'd be good to see them do this again. I wonder how FF4 would stack up and if IE9 got microsoft out of the basement.

    I would give Chrome a shot but Google is so huge and influential that it's scary, so I'm sticking with Opera for that reason alone. Plus Opera has a TON of innovative features.

    I just don't like the way Chrome reports back to Google every web site you visit. Too intrusive. So I stick with Firefox.
    stay low... keep moving...

    Are you serious?! That's absolutely ridiculous.

    The privacy policy makes it sound like these "features" can be disabled but the language is a little fuzzy...

    Another hardcore Opera fan here. I always have two browsers open: firefox, just for my email and the every occasional site that opera can't open for some reason, and opera for all other surfing.
