...but no one jokes about Firefox's Shockwave Plugin Container, that gets stuck every two times out of three, when you close a page that has a movie clip in it. And not only, it jams the Google Translator page too... but it's not by Microsoft, so it's totally ok. No one jokes about it.

I use all 3 on a daily basis. Internet explorer is the most stable, Chrome is the most customizable/nice looking, and firefox is the fastest.

Shockwave Flash is a joke by now, similar to Java. IE11 on the other hand has managed to reinvent itself. It's a pretty damn good browser now on 8.1.

I moved on to Safari for almost a year now on my Mac. It's a pretty good relationship so far. I haven't even installed another browser since I last wiped my mac clean in June. I'm not sure how well it works with Windows, though.

Ugh. I try to watch Twitch VODs on my phone and the only way I've found is to use Firefox and Flash plugin. No other mobile browser seems to work. And it crashes/skips/pauses a lot. Not fun when trying to watch a 2 hour video.

this is because using Firefox is like using Netscape

The Internet Explorer hate is really old now... ;)

In all honesty, IE9+ is good, 11 is great! I use IE11 and Chrome constantly and they have replaced Firefox. Firefox is a slow glitch fest any more.

IE is as fast as Chrome, but more stable (Less memory leaks) but lacks scripts and extensions.
