Default Web Browsers

Was wondering what you guys thought the fastest web browser is? Perhaps this has been discussed before but I haven't seen a thread on it. I googled fastest browser though to see some articles and came across this:

Web Browser King

Was wondering what you guys thought of Chrome being ranked first. I've really never used chrome up until recently. One thing I've noticed is that it opens insanely fast.

Hmm I tried Chrome and didn't really like it. Firefox for me... add-ons galore

I would say that Chrome is definitely snappier than IE and FF. Those are the only three browsers I have used recently.

what sucks though if you design websites, you need to check your sites in all the browsers. One positive ive heard is that Firefox is implementing special standards of web browsing to duplicate the effects that IE and chrome give. But in the end, its better to be safe then sorry, i check through Chrome, IE, and Firefox.
