Chrome
Waterfox
Firefox
Iron
IE

Anything else? Looking for fast startup speed and page loading time. Using Chrome, but wasn't sure how the streamlined Waterfox stands up, or other stripped down Internet Browsers

I love Chrome with adblock. Hate those pesky youtube ads and the such. Extremely fast. Not a fan of Opera.

Reading upon Iron, seems to be a better Chrome really. Adblock almost built in and everything.

How does Waterfox stack up against Chrome and Iron?

Looks like Chrome is currently favored by most.

I like Iron.

I believe it's a fight between Opera and Chrome, with Chrome edging Opera out with a couple milliseconds. I don't like how Chrome looks though, and Opera has a lot more features.

Chrome...with adblock. I haven't touched Firefox since.

Opera is as well. (and it's minimalistic)

Has to be Chrome for me.

Chrome is the best browser in my opinion, loads up in 1 second for me.
Although, IE9 and Firefox 5 seem to be fast and great at working, you should try experiment and see which one you like.

Chrome.

you should start a poll between opera, chrome and Firefox.

I'm interested to see what people use nowadays

It depends on what you are using your browser for. If you are doing something graphics intensive in your browser and have a powerful system, IE9 smokes everything because of it's gpu acceleration.

If you are browsing or have a weak system and video card, opera is slightly faster than chrome.

They are all very close now with exception too bugs. IE9 has quite a few problems. If your system is slow, IE9 can be a monstrosity!

I am sure chrome and all others will nail down GPU acceleration rather quickly as browser based gaming is getting very popular.

FF4 was released a week or so ago. It's very, very fast. It beats Chrome in nearly every benchmark right now. I'd check it out.
