Chrome. I've gone from IE, to Opera, to Firefox, to Flock, to Chrome, to Safari, and to Chrome again because it's just that good. And the bookmark syncing with my phone is something I've grown accustomed to.
Retribution.

Since both are free, the topic is subjective and you have the ability... Try both and come to your own conclusion!

IE9 is actually a pretty good browser. And IE10 for Metro on Windows 8 just FLIES through pretty much any task.

Use what you're comfortable with, really. The gap in standards compliance and speed that IE USED to be SO awful at has really narrowed to the point where IE is just as fast and reliable as the best that Google, Mozilla, and Opera have to offer. thumb.gif

Firefox. IE9 isn't really a web browser because it doesn't properly support the web standards found on 99.9% of pages on the web.

If you use IE you're just contributing to the suffering of the web developer that had to bang his head on his keyboard trying to get his site to render correctly in IE9.
