And the verdict is in.
Here is my capsule review of my experience with the various browsers.
Google Chrome is basically babies first browser. It's very simple, easy to use and understand. It can be tricked out, but there's not much incentive to do so, as the add-ons seem needlessly complicated. Still it's a reliable browser.
Firefox is a lot of fun, the extensions are easy to use and the layout of Firefox overall is stylish and simple. It's truly the way the internet was meant to be viewed as it is appealing to the newest of noobs and the techiest of techs.
However, the browser I will be choosing is none other than Opera, the browser I was the most skeptical about. The extensions are the easiest of any browser to use, and can be managed at the push of a button. Tabbing the extensions list and download list made locating all of these incredibly easy and it has the fastest browsing speed of all three of the browsers I tried.

Safari isn't a bad browser either, but it takes some time getting used to because of the interface. Other than that, it's pretty nice. _________________ Whenever there's light, there are shadows.

yeah it does.
And i still don't get it how the extensions of opera are easier to work with than Firefox's. I guess it's a subjective thing - i dislike the way opera's extensions work.
Plus, there's no Adblock plus to opera, just a list of advertising sites that you can block. At least that was the situation some months ago.
Also, most greasemonkey/userscripts aren't 'ported' well to opera.
Anyways, glad you found the best browser for you. _________________ // APodEIctIc TIMe visoR |

Who said that? Here, on the forums I mean.
I could say the same about FF, but no one said that FF sucks lol.
@Flamez - I agree. If it had all the customization (addons, greasemonkey scripts and complex skins) FF has... well, it would be FF then lol. _________________ // APodEIctIc TIMe visoR |

I'm a FF user, but beeing unhappy with it (constant crashin, Facebook chat crashing) I tried Opera. Aside from feeling unfamiliar, it ad problems with the Facebookchat aswell, so I kept FF.
I don't like the idea of chrome coming from google and saving every step I take on the net...at least that's what I was made believe
Gotta say, I haven't tried any plugins for ANY browser whatsoever... _________________

with the google saving your stuff on the net - it doesnt even bother me. to them, i'm just a statistic. sure, they'll know how much youtube i use, that i'm on here... but seriously. unless they grab your passwords (which they could get seriously f**ked for) then who really cares? _________________

I mainly use Safari (on PC), though I keep Firefox and IE on hand. I avoid those two normally simply because their popularity makes them the most targeted. I've yet to try Chrome or Opera; Safari just worked well enough for my generic daily web-browsing that I didn't bother searching further.
I keep IE around for the websites that people didn't bother to code well enough to work on other browsers, and Firefox simply for the easy add-ons when I want to rip flash or streaming video. _________________ Overwhelmed with gestalt possibilities... |

Frankly, Opera's got an add-on that turns any webpage into an arcade-style shooter, which was the big selling point for me.
And yes, I know, my ADHD is showing. As if it wasn't obvious for all the stuff that I do. _________________ Support me on Patreon!
