Here are step by step instructions on how to switch over. Also, if you sign into Chrome with your Gmail account, you can sync your bookmarks across any computer or mobile device. I LOVE that – if I bookmark something on my desktop, then go to my parents' and want to show them, I can log into Chrome on their computer and my bookmarks will be right there. When I log out, they're gone.

Chrome.
I will say that I HATE, absolutely HATE IE and the way it renders WordPress sites. I don't understand it.
My previous theme didn't work right on IE.
My new theme is OK, but the Digg Digg bar is rendered fully wide across the page, blocking the content.
I honestly don't know how to build a site that works in IE.
Sadly, 25% of my visitors use IE, 25% Chrome, 25% Firefox, and the other 25% is divided up between others.
I think it is helpful to share with webmasters if they are having cross compatibility issues.

^^ yea, what she said.
Chrome will allow you to import all those goodies from your previous browser.

I like Chrome because it's faster. I use Firefox too.
I don't like IE. It seems to hog memory and slows down the whole computer if you have many pages open.

Awesome. Thanks Andrea! I'll give it a shot.

Chrome is my favorite. Like others, the other two just became too slow for me. Chrome does come up with some strange warnings sometimes, but I'm glad I use it. If one of those strange warnings comes up for visitors of my blog, I'm aware of them because of the browser I use. I've had some formatting issues with some of my IE users in the past, but have been able to reconcile them.

I'm all about Chrome! Google is doing a great job improving all of their tools like google docs, calendars, etc. I like chrome bc I rarely have problems when loading websites and I can sync bookmarks as others have mentioned. I try to stay really organized with my bookmarks and I do a lot of browsing at work ;) so it comes in handy when I get home to have all those bookmarks updated.

I used Internet Explorer (always) up until last year, I just kept having WAY too many issues. Then I switched over to Chrome…OMG! I love Chrome so much, it's faster, more functional, spell checks and just overall rocks.

Chrome for me too, although I'll often check IE and Firefox each day (after a cache clean) to make sure no page rendering probs, of which IE is usually to blame. I aim for consistency between the three. There have been a few occasions where I've had to abandon a design feature which worked fine on Chrome and Firefox, but not IE.
I've never seen OW on any of the others. I know I should but haven't got round to it arranging a viewing yet.
Any Mac/Safari users noticed anything unusual about my site? Am I'm right in thinking that Safari can be run on a PC but sometimes differs in quality/output compared to when run on a Mac? I never was an Apple Fanboy…

I use Firefox for just about anything. Firefox is pretty picky when it comes to anything Java, so if I have a site that requires the full plugin, I'll use IE. That and some sites at work require it, but otherwise I hate IE.
My wife uses Chrome on our shared laptop. I use Firefox there. That actually works out good because we can both have browsers going at the same time so we can come back to whatever we were doing and not accidently close the others page. and we also have our own credentials stored across some of the same pages we use.

I prefer Firefox, by far. It just behaves the best, does what I want, and is easy to use. I suspect "What's your most hated browser" would have a very clear winner: IE.

Chrome is the fastest and most user-friendly IMO. Firefox and IE9 are both perfectly adequate, but IE7 and 8 are horrendous.

Chrome is my favorite, super fast and very res;ponsive. I like the fact that is promoted by Google and has atleast some support behind it to enhance it. IE is not good for me especially for SEO purposes. No plugins and add ons are a big issue.

That's because it has so many 'features'!
