This topic is about your favorite not your rankings.
Since we all have favorites, we'll also have different rankings.  ;D
Yes and ranking them also shows favorites, not just the primary one.

You sound like a politician. When you ask them a question, they also never have a precise answer.  ;D

the much said google chrome's sandbox is hacked

http://techie-buzz.com/tech-news/google-chrome-sandbox-hacked.html
This should be in the Security Warnings link not here. :)
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=52252.msg650488#new


this fact can alter the favorites of people. hence its here. even if it was in security warnings, nobody could rectify it except google :)

It was already discussed in another thread and the "hacks" they used were a series of very sophisticated exploits involving more than just Chrome. They would be highly unlikely to ever actually happen.

I am back to using Chrome and it really is much faster than IE9 & Firefox 4. For overall looks though i like IE9 the best.

Currently, the best browser is the one you like the best. I will say however that Firefox needs a few addons to bring it up to snuff with either Chrome or IE9 out of the box.

Yeah noscript or other adblockers give a great speed up

One out of eight people now uses Chrome

Specifically, Chrome usage increased from 11.9 percent in April to 12.5 percent in May, according to statistics released today by Net Applications. The company bases its findings on population-adjusted measurements of visitors to Web sites using its analytics tools.

A slightly skewed statistic, since they can only count the people who are not blocking google analytics. ;)

Whilst that would be correct (I certainly don't allow it), but I rather doubt that it would skew the figures that much, as your average user isn't even aware of what google-analytics does.

True enough, we are in a minority on that, I would imagine.  Might cause single-digit% variance, at best.

I think more like a much smaller variance figure (even 0.1%) 1% in the world wide browser usage share would be an absolutely huge figure.
