                Firefox 4, a little faster so far. Also has special porn mode.

                    Iron, unlike Chrome, has an easy to use and built-in adblocker which can be configured by a single file.
                    Good to know. I haven't had any issues with ads in Chrome but also haven't been looking at very much porn lately. Anyone have any ideas why such a good browser is missing such an obvious feature?

                            I've been using 4 since it was in beta. My only complaint is the memory leakage. This has always been a problem for Mozilla, esp. on OS X.

                              You talking about "Private Browsing Mode"? It was in the older versions also, not sure how far back though.

                              I use Firefox 4. Faster and like the "App Tab" option along with the hidden menu bar.

                                If you have a low end video card, and having issues with videos and such, try disabling it to see if it helps. With it on, it transfers most of the browsers graphic material (animations, videos, pictures, etc.) to the GPU instead of taxing the CPU.

                                  i use firefox 3... give me reasons to goto 4 - right now I hate the memory leak as after few hours and multiple tabs the computer starts to crawl. does this change in firefox 4?

                                          Right click on the top bar, un-check the menu bar, and check tabs on top. Cleans it up, and gives you more viewable area in your browser.

                                          Not sure why it doesn't seem faster to you, and how is it unstable?

                                          I noticed a bit more speed when I got it on the release, and it is always stable.

                                              btw buddy, get rid of norton, it just slows down your computer, basically any other main virus program out there is just as good and doesnt slow it down.

                                                      biggest issue with 4.0 is that it doesn't save your tabs when you close the browser or have to reboot

                                                          You can easily fix this by changing a setting in the config of Firefox.

                                                          Here is how:

                                                          type this is the address bar- about:config
                                                          You will get a warning so click on I'll be careful, I promise!
                                                          Type in the Filter box: browser.showQuitWarning
                                                          You will see the current value is false - right click on false and change it to Toggle

                                                          You will now be asked to save your tabs when you exit Firefox.

                                                            wow... just checked and I'm still on 3.6.13. although I usually use safari. I guess I'll upgrade, though I can't imagine it being any faster then it already is. I have really fast internet though so everything loads pretty much instantly. Where are people noticing the speed increase? Maybe I will notice when I change.

                                                            Seems like alot of praise for Chrome though. Looks like I will have to try that out too.
