Chrome/Opera Mini.
Chrome because it's the supersonic swiss army knife of browsers, and Opera Mini because it's small in size and has adblock.

If i may ask, how fast is opera mini compared to other browsers Not that sure, but it's a tad faster. Also, it's 10-20MB compared to the >70MB of Chrome. |

Funny enough, I am using a windows XP cpu (the kind built about 10 years ago). And I just need to get past that initial first half to full hour (disclaimer: it is not measured, this is just an assumption) of lag on Google Chrome before it becomes smooth sailing.

NetherFreek, I use Mozilla FireFox because it's quite flexible and has a great GUI menu layout that I like a lot. It also can be added onto, like some plugins if you want fancier functions, or kept down to basics if you prefer to keep it running quickly on your phone due to computation limitations your phone may have, etc... whatever that kind of stuff... MFF can do for you, really. I can think of one slight advantage Chrome has over MFF, a better viral protection in the browsers (according to AVAST, the anti-viral software company), but honestly, I'm a capable user, and I'm sure you know how to avoid viruses easily too. The FireFox setup isn't that vulnerable, because both Chrome and MFF has many similarities in how much of the HTML/XHTML it supports (based on W3C, really). The Microsoft's IE browser is actually the one who isn't quite following the W3C's recommendations properly for the implementation of XHMTL.

Chrome because it's pre-installed So if you had a PC and Internet Explorer is pre-installed, you would use it? Just curious. |

I myself have 3 browsers installed on my phone.
Chrome, which i barely use, was preinstalled, i don't really like it cause its kinda slow.
Brave, my most used browser, it has the same interface and stuff like chrome, but it has an adblocker which makes it kinda quicker.
Puffin, my secondary browser. This browser is extremely quick, quicker than the ones above and the ones i tried. However the interface is plain ugly, your forced to use bing as search engine and theres no room for personalization, i use this when i need some space or when i'm adjusting the libraries on this site, cause the heavy post is barely editable using the other browsers

I use Chrome on my phone, with a mix of Firefox and Chrome in PC.
It's mainly because of habit. Chrome works well enough and I don't spare much effort using it. Chrome didn't work initially on PC so that's why I used Firefox.

Not that there's something wrong with using Chrome in the first place. Just that I find your reasoning a bit funny.  |

*Chrome does auto translation like a champ and that's usefull if you like to visit foreign sites.
*Puffin is the only mobile browser I know of that does mouse/joystick emulation.
