I use Chrome 11 because it is so fast and has an extension plugin for anything I need. Make sure you enable GPU rendering.

How to Turn On/ Disable GPU Hardware Acceleration on Google Chrome | Web Talk

Firefox 4 is on standby but is way slower.

I also keep IE, Safari and Opera around just to test compatibility as webmaster.

One issue with Chrome -- NinjaTrader isn't compatible with it. On three different machines, NT causes Chrome to crash. But I don't use NT anymore

I had been using Firefox for long time, switched to Chrome about 6 months ago due to the fact it uses multiple processes.

I switched to Chrome after reading this thread. Faster than rabbits!

I use Ninja Trader but I don't surf when trading.

I tried IE9 . I don't understand after all these years why Microsoft can't build a decent browser.


I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.

Have used Chrome and NT 6.5 and NT 7 for a long time now. Never had Chrome crash and I have them running at the same time.

I use Safari most of the time, and Opera when I want to do big file download. Safari's mode of keeping, making available and rendering the history of all previously accessed web pages is a specialty (see attached screenshot) and there's no browser that does this the way Safari does it; it is just exciting.
