The last version of Firefox for Android was disappointing; I’ll see if this one is any better.
I’ve been a whole lot happier since switching from IE.
The first step was admitting that I had a problem.
Chrome for me.
ChromePlus here. Switched from Firefox about 3 months ago.
Interesting—I hadn’t heard of ChromePlus before!
Chrome = 100% Google spyware. They know ever website you visit, search term used, etc.
At least with Firefox with Noscript, AdblockPlus, BetterPrivacy you can avoid tracking and spying.
If they have "incremental features" then why jump whole version numbers? I'm still running Firefox 3.6 so I've missed two "major" versions already.
Opera 11.5!
Opera 11.5!
So nice, it posted twice.
It has AdBlockplus, anon browsing,and mouse gestures built in. Search right from the address bar. I like the bookmark layout more than Firefox and I find I spend a lot less time messing around with addins than I did with Firefox. I go back to Firefox every now and then but keep on coming back to Chromeplus.

I bailed on Chrome the morning after I watched an “It gets better” ad sponsored by Google (specifically, Google Chrome) a few months ago. Gotta stand for something.
It seems like just yesterday that they were stuck on 3.xx
Mozilla is getting ridiculous with their rapid releases.
I just upgraded to 5 (bypassing 4 altogether) a few weeks ago.
I looked on their website, but could not find a definitive list of improvements/changes for 6. Is it worth the effort? One earlier review (from a year or so ago) indicated that 6 would be only minor improvements with 7 being some significant improvements.
I lost a few extensions/add-ons when I upgraded from 3.6 to 5. How many might I lose upgrading to 6? I don’t know — I may not bother to find out, unless I can find a good description of what is new/better in 6.
The search in the address bar is part of the regular Chrome. What’s your favorite of ChromPlus’s added features?
My experience with Microsoft Office and such is that over-featured software becomes a real issue, but useful features are, well, useful.
